[OpenIndiana-discuss] weird C++ problem

[Apostolos Syropoulos]

Hello,

I have tried the following "trick"


> 
> #include <string.h>
> namespace KPS {
>   extern "C" {
>      #include <kpathsea/kpathsea.h>
>   }
> }
> 


and it worked. I will try it once more just to be on
the safe side. Obviously, I really appreciate your
help and your solution!

I will pass you answer to the people who are responsible for this code.

Regards,

Apostolos
