Thank you for your report.  I think this is already fixed for the
next release; please try the patch below and see if it solves the
problem:

The only way to fix this is for someone to look at the specifics of
the code and find the actual cause of the problem.  What are these
conflicting declarations?  Why do they conflict?  Why are both
eof them included?  Were any macro definitions involved in causing
the conflict?

Only someone who has access to a Sun can get to the bottom of this.

I think we already have that fixed in both CVS head and branch.  IIRC, I 
sent a patch in response to the original report, but got no replies.

Eli,
I'm having this problem as well with a ultra5 running Solaris 2.8 and gcc 3.1.

I need a little more help getting past this error.  I can't get any version
of emacs to compile due to this error.

Can someone point me to some docs the can help me do this patch. Any idea when
the next release is scheduled.

Re: compiling on Sun Blade 100 running Solaris 2.8

[T.L.Bowers]

Nevermind, I figured it out on my own :).  I just copied the 
updated sol2-5.h from the CVS repository and placed it into the
src/s directory and ran make again.   Worked like a charm.
