My compiler gives an error on array_getcharbuf() (in arrayobject.c), and on inspection it looks as though it is right. Array_getcharbuf() has a char **ptrptr argument, and it passes *ptrptr to array_getreadbuf(), which expects a void **. My guess is that it needs to pass ptrptr, not *ptrptr. And it definitely needs a cast... This is all from the repository sources, by the way. -- Jack Jansen | ++++ stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal ++++ Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com | ++++ if you agree copy these lines to your sig ++++ www.oratrix.nl/~jack | ++++ see http://www.xs4all.nl/~tank/ ++++
