Hmmm I did that but there doesn't seem to be a difference. I will try it
again.

at any rate, I have done the following:
1. installed the latest freeware tardist of libpng and zlib off the net
(sgi freeware site) and set my -I to /usr/freeware/include -- didn't fix
the problem
2. installed Abi versions of the above in /usr/local/include and
/usr/local/lib set my -I to /usr/local/include -- didn't fix the problem
either.
3. started to look around in the zlib and libpng headers for a
redefinition of signal -- its not there?

anyway, I don't think the libs are the problem here but rather that Irix
signals are different. So, how did the others get it compiled?

I have been using gcc/g++ on Irix 6.5.3m not the feature release. Is
signal fixed for Irix in 6.5.3f or 6.5.4m or f?

anybody have the patch?

Thanks,

Michael
