Dear Frank,

I have just tried compiling GAP3.3, and as before I am having problems on
my SGI machine.

With
make sgi-mips-irix-gcc2
I get

gcc -DSYS_IS_USG -c system.c
system.c:2759: conflicting types for `times'
/usr/include/sys/times.h:37: previous declaration of `times'
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

and with

make sgi-mips-irix-cc
I get

        cc -DSYS_IS_USG -c system.c
accom: Error: system.c, line 450: redeclaration of strlen
       extern  int             strlen () ;
       ----------------------------------^
accom: Error: system.c, line 2759: redeclaration of times
       extern  int             times () ;
       ---------------------------------^
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

The previous option with irix4 is still in the comments of Makefile, but
has disappeared from the list of targets. Can you tell me what to do?

If you need to look at in on my machine, the unpacked version is in
~dfh/gap.

Thanks in advance,
Derek.
