#57 RH 7.3 compile failure on v1.5

[Larry Fahnoe]

Compiles on Red Hat 7.3 systems continue to be a
problem. You said that you had a fix and it would show
up in 1.4.1, but I did not see that release become
available. I just grabbed 1.5 and got the same compile
errors.

In another bug you asked the poster what compiler was
being used. In the Red Hat 7.3 case it is gcc 2.96.

In case you'd like to see the compile error again:

Yep, I'm on to this. The reason is because GCC 3.2 does not
even warn about this, just chugs along. The solution is to
find a compiler switch that will turn this situation into an
error. I cannot (because of software conflicts) install GCC
2.95. Please help me on this. Otherwise no matter what I
do, every release would have new errors (for older platforms)
like this. =(
