Re: Gettext-0.10.35 won't compile; Trying desperately to supportgnome!!!

[Stephen Rust <Stephen Rust valpo edu>]

Not sure as to the cause, but it seems your C library has the
getline/getdelim functions already.  I didn't have this problem on my
system (libc5).  In fact, my C library file (/usr/include/stdio.h) has
getline #if 0'd out, and getdelim only gets used if __USE_GNU is defined.
It says you shouldn't use getline as a name, as it is too common.
Apparently so. :)  Are you using glibc (libc6) ?  Maybe that's different
in respect to this function, don't know...

But try commenting out the function declarations for getline and getdelim
in ./gettext-0.10.35/lib/getline.h

See if it compiles and/or works..
