The problem that clisp/src/m4/ioctl.m4 tests against is fixed in Solaris 7 and newer, but is present in Solaris 2.6, FreeBSD 6.4, IRIX 6.5. > Also, I get this error on linux: > > /home/sds/src/clisp/sf/clisp/build-g-gxx/gllib/sys/ioctl.h:361: error: > declaration of C function 'int ioctl(int, int, ...)' conflicts with > /usr/include/sys/ioctl.h:42: error: previous declaration 'int ioctl(int, long > unsigned int, ...)' here > make: *** [spvw.o] Error 1 > > (after I removed the ioctl declaration from unix.h) > what's wrong? In this situation (on Linux, which has the non-POSIX declaration for ioctl()) REPLACE_IOCTL should be set to 1 by config.status, so that gllib/sys/ioctl.h provides a declaration for rpl_ioctl, not ioctl. Somehow this is not happening. Can you look in config.status what is the value of REPLACE_IOCTL? And if it is 0, look up in config.log the details of "checking for ioctl with POSIX signature ..."
