Hi, Thank you Craig and Magnus for your answers. I have tried compiling with Visual Studio 2005 and I'm still getting those errors: c:\program files\postgresql\8.3\include\server\pg_config_os.h(188) : error C2011: 'timezone' : 'struct' type redefinition c:\program files\postgresql\8.3\include\server\pg_config_os.h(188) : see declaration of 'timezone' c:\program files\postgresql\8.3\include\server\pg_config_os.h(197) : error C2011: 'itimerval' : 'struct' type redefinition c:\program files\postgresql\8.3\include\server\pg_config_os.h(197) : see declaration of 'itimerval' Any advice most welcome.
