Yes, that's all the error message.  Here is again an exact copy of the error I got with a test program:


*************
337 % g++ test.C
In file included from /usr/include/sys/resource.h:21,
                 from /usr/include/sys/wait.h:83,
                 from /opt/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/2.95.2/include/stdlib.h:231,
                 from test.C:2:
/usr/include/sys/time.h:337: `extern' can only be specified for objects and functions
338 %
*************

Here is the "test.C":

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <string.h>

void main ()
{
}



Again, the machine is HP 9000/770, running HPUX 10.20.  I was using gcc 2.8.1 before and it worked fine with the same program.

Actually if I don't have the #include <stdlib.h>, some programs will compile fine.  Then some programs that use function "atof" will complain.

Looks like some incompatibility between g++'s stdlib.h and the system's 'time.h'?  Or I did something wrong?
