Re: memset compilation problem

Hi,

This is a known SGI error. Some platforms uses string.h, some other strings.h.
SGI has both with different definitions.
Normally I fixed it by commenting the line in the file generated by configure
Amaya/SGI/config.h:
-#define HAVE_STRINGS_H 1
+/*#define HAVE_STRINGS_H 1*/

Best wishes
  Irene.
