I've been out of touch for a while, sorry.

Does this fail on _all_ GCC 3.3.2s, or just under Mandrake? I
don't have a Mandrake box specifically but will try to replicate
under SuSE and RedHat.

In the /usr/src/mpexpr-1.1/generic/mpexpr.h there are a
mistake !

// original ligne
/* mpexpr tcl command procs */
/*
EXTERN Tcl_CmdProc Mp_ExprCmd;
EXTERN Tcl_CmdProc Mp_FormatCmd;
*/

// My change
EXTERN int Mp_ExprCmd _ANSI_ARGS_((ClientData
dummy,Tcl_Interp *interp, int argc, char **argv));
EXTERN int Mp_FormatCmd _ANSI_ARGS_((ClientData
dummy,Tcl_Interp *interp, int argc, char **argv));

I have been the same problem on solaris 8
and the solution is to change the file named generic/mpexpr.h !
// Original line
/* mpexpr tcl command procs */
/*
EXTERN Tcl_CmdProc Mp_ExprCmd;
EXTERN Tcl_CmdProc Mp_FormatCmd;
*/

// My change
EXTERN int Mp_ExprCmd _ANSI_ARGS_((ClientData
dummy,Tcl_Interp *interp, int argc, char **argv));
EXTERN int Mp_FormatCmd _ANSI_ARGS_((ClientData
dummy,Tcl_Interp *interp, int argc, char **argv));

make clean
make
make install

it's good

The following patch seems to resolve this issue when
compiling with tcl8.4:

hlavana-u5:102> cvs diff mpiface.c

I am on Gentoo x86_64 with GCC 4.5.3 and was able to "make" using changes suggested by 'nobody' by replacing

EXTERN Tcl_CmdProc Mp_ExprCmd;
EXTERN Tcl_CmdProc Mp_FormatCmd;

with

EXTERN int Mp_ExprCmd _ANSI_ARGS_((ClientData dummy,Tcl_Interp *interp, int argc, char **argv));
EXTERN int Mp_FormatCmd _ANSI_ARGS_((ClientData dummy,Tcl_Interp *interp, int argc, char **argv));
