#242 Error compiling "bomb.c"

Hi.

I was just trying to compile BRL_CAD on my Ubuntu 9.10 system, but ran into this error.

>>>>
Making all in libbu

Earlier tryed installing using just
./configure
make
make install"

But didn't work.

Then followed this instruction: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling#Compiling_BRL-CAD

Any suggestion how to continue from hereon?

Thanks!

Best Regards

Add --disable-strict to your compilation options. You should also use source release 7.16.6 instead. The INSTALL file has more details on compilation options.

Worked like a charm :D
