misc.c: In function `get_local_timezone_ofs': misc.c:83: error: structure has no member named `tm_gmtoff' Hmm, this is a BSD extension, and IIRC you are using a BSD system, aren't you?

Actually, this is a Solaris 8 system (with gcc 3.4.2). The (original) July 1.9.5 compiles just fine. I'm just uncertain what has changed since then, that is causing this issue.

I didn't check but most probably he added the localtime(&when) call in get_local_timezone_ofs() to extract the seconds you are away from UTC, including DST handling. Unfortunately I do not understand enough of timezone handling to be much of a help here. Time is too a difficult subject for me to understand, so I'm glad it works most of the time :).

The time.h file on this system appears to have come as part of the SUNWhea package, and does not include the information shown above.

Hmm, the "correct" file I see has shown up in Solaris 10 ;) with the libbc: http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/usr/src/lib/libbc/inc/include/time.h Tomorrow I'll have access again to a Solaris 8 machine where I could try compiling the source. Bazsi seems to be very busy these days, so we just have to wait for a bit ... Regards, Roberto Nibali, ratz -- echo '[q]sa[ln0=aln256%Pln256/snlbx]sb3135071790101768542287578439snlbxq' | dc
