Building modulecmd on Linux

[<Phi...@mo...>]

I just re-joined this list after about 5 years off of it.  I noticed
that on www.modules.org that things appear to have been revived, but
that document is 2 years old, so I'm not so sure.

We use the modules infrastructure to manage our shell environments
here at Morgan Stanley.  I brought the code along with me when I left
my previous employer back in 1992, and it has been very, very stable
for the past 9 years.

Now, I'm trying to build modulecmd on Linux, and getting stuck on:

gcc -c  -I.. -I. -I/ms/dist/tcl/VERS/8.0/include  -O2  utility.c
utility.c:488: initializer element is not constant

Line 488 seems pretty innocuous:

static FILE* aliasfile = stdout;

But stdout is no longer a constant on Linux, so....  compile error.

This problem is for the 2.2 release, and I see the same problem with
3.0 as well.  The platform is:

(system:anyuser/wpm/wpm) uname -a
Linux mglnxcs01 2.2.14-5.0smp #1 SMP Tue Mar 7 21:01:40 EST 2000 i686 unknown

I would be shocked if I'm the first person to build this on Linux.
