Subject: Compilation Problems

Hi,

I am running the linuk kernel version 1.3.86 and I have gcc-2.7.2.  I
can't get the beta 10 version of wu-ftpd to compile.  It keeps stopping
when it tries to compile the glob.c file.  I get this error:

glob.c:In function 'matchdir":
glob.c:284: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make: *** [glob.c] Error 1

And I think because of that error, every file that tries to compile
after that gives this error:

gcc: vers.o: No such file or directory

I have not yet been able to compile any version of wu-ftpd with any
version of linux that I have had running.  I don't get it!?  The only
version that I have is the ftpd that came with the installation of Linux
version 1.2.13.  What's the problem?

Thanks,
Craig Hutchison

	I had the same problem, and that was beacuse I was using gcc 
2.7.2 with libc.so.5.2.18

The solution was compiling it under Linux 1.2.13  and the older 
libraries.....

Although one friend tried to solve glob.c and it worked.....But I haven't 
tried to run this version (The other one works properly so I haven't any 
problem).

I think the better way is using the 1.2.13 compiled one....

               Un Saludo....David
