Hi This is my first post to such a list so please go easy with me and I hope I have found the correct place. I have a problem compiling any release after version squid-3.0.STABLE20 on IBM Power ppc64 running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8). I have been using Squid on this platform for about 5 years and been compiling previous releases without any issues. I have done the usual googling and searching of the list but it seems I am unique in experiencing this problem! The key errors I am seeing are displayed in the back end of the log extract below and seem to relate to "rfc1738.c: In function `rfc1738_unescape'" and the warnings generated relating to comparison is always false.

Squid-3.1.1 also will not compile for me. This suggests to me that lib/rfc1738.c is an area to look at and I find that the file is different between releases. If I copy the version from squid-3.0.STABLE20 to squid-3.0.STABLE21 and try again then the build works. I don’t know what the knock on effect of this would be but I guess a more permanent fix at source may be possible. Any help on getting these working without copying source files between releases would be gratefully received. Thanks Steve
