    Dear all,

    I'm recently migrating a OpenACS 3.2.5 website to a Fedora Core 3 server
    My problem was PostgreSQL compilation.
    Everytime I run ./configure, the compilation ended with these lines:

    (some lines skipped)...
    .......................
    checking for preprocessor stringizing operator... yes
    checking for signed types... no
    checking for volatile... no
    checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h... sys/time.h
    checking for tm_zone in struct tm... no
    checking for tzname... no
    checking for union semun... no
    checking for struct sockaddr_un... no
    checking for int timezone... no
    checking types of arguments for accept()... configure: error: could not
    determine argument types
     
    I searched the last line on google and found nothing applicable.
    I went to config.log and see these lines:

    (some lines skipped)...
    .......................
    configure:3122: gcc -o conftest -O2 conftest.c -lreadline 1>&5
    In file included from configure:3111:

    #include "confdefs.h"
    /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */
    /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
     builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
    char readline();

    int main() {
    readline()
    ; return 0; }
    configure:3122: gcc -o conftest -O2 conftest.c -ledit -ltermcap 1>&5

    char readline();

    int main() {
    readline()
    ; return 0; }
    (some more similar sections for 3122 skipped)...
    ................................................
    configure:3149: checking for library containing using_history

    char using_history();

    int main() {
    using_history()
    ; return 0; }
    configure:3189: gcc -o conftest -O2 conftest.c -lhistory 1>&5

    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
    char using_history();

    int main() {
    using_history()
    ; return 0; }
    (many more syntax error. I skipped)...
    ......................................
     
    There are so many lines about syntax error.
    I think it may be the problem of gcc version or some library may be missed.
    What can I do? Or is there any other possible cause?

    Thanks a lot
