You wouldn't be using a Sun by any chance, would you? Perhaps a Sun whose <stdlib.h> contains a line like this: extern char * realloc(/* void *ptr, size_t size */); Note the commenting out of the arguments. It's not gcc's fault; just use a real prototype for realloc(). -- Richard -- Richard Tobin, JANET: R.Tobin@uk.ac.ed AI Applications Institute, ARPA: R.Tobin%uk.ac.ed@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk Edinburgh University.
