This message means you are using the bundled HP-UX C compiler, which is famous for not recognizing prototypes. It is only useful for two things: * Rebuilding the HP-UX kernel * Bootstrapping the GNU C Compiler Either buy the HP ANSI C compiler, or get GCC and use that. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.62 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>

Hmm; interesting. I did not realize that the bundled compiler supported that option. OK; I live, I learn (occasionally).
