Question on GNU C -- Openwin compatibility

[hista at jetson.uh.edu]

I am having some rather crazy problems with my recently installed GNU C
compiler on the Sun4 platform.  The installation and everything seems to
have gone fine and the compiler works with regular ansi files like a
charm.

But, when it comes down to files with inbuilt headers calling the xview
libraries, it messes up like mad.  The compilation throws out some
warnings and errors in linking.  After discussion with some of the other
local hackers, I have come to the conclusion that maybe the openwindows
platform, i.e. header files are not exactly ANSI-compatible.

I am sure there must be plenty of you out there who must be using GNU C
and its reputed ansi facilities in conjunction with the Xview libraries. I
would appreciate any suggestions to improve my situation.  Thanks in
advance.
