I am trying to build x11iraf under gentoo linux, but it fails with this error:[code:1:e33d0722a3]making all in obm/ObmW...

[/code:1:e33d0722a3]How do I fix this?

Assuming you're using the X11IRAF v2.0 distribution and not something earlier..... Edit the x11iraf$obm/ObmW/Imakefile to reset the CCOPTIONS flags to add a '-DUSE_STDARG' flag. Specifically, starting at line 24 the code should read[code:1:3599067edb]
#if ((GccMajorVersion >= 3) && (GccMinorVersion >= 1))
CCOPTIONS = -DUSE_STDARG
#else
CCOPTIONS =
#endif
[/code:1:3599067edb]Note that the test for the GccMajorVersion goes from "== 3" to ">= 3". Otherwise, try using the prebuilt binaries.

Thanks for the prompt assistance! That got me past that hurdle. Unfortunately, I hit another (some warnings then an error):[code:1:ea3c8fdf28]gcc -m32 -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -fno-strict-aliasing -I../include -I/usr/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DALLOWLOGGING -c -o screen.o screen.c
