Unable to compile Argus 3.0 server on Solaris 10

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Real,
Sorry for the delayed response.  This OS compatibility is really quite  
interesting.
Did you install gcc, or did it come on the box?  The code compiles  
fine on so
may Solaris versions, that I suspect that the problem is with the gcc  
installation.
Do you have a Solaris compiler you can try, to see if things clear up?

    ./configure --without-gcc

The patch below should work, but this is not a general solution.
Give it a try and send back your experiences.
