Unfortunately I don't have a 64-bit compiler to try. Can you please check if
elogd.c has similar warnings or only regex.c? The ones in elogd.c I can fix,
but regex.c is straight from the GNU C library, so we would have to wait intil
they fix it. Or can you get it from the 64-bit C library? The point is that I
need the source code, so that I can compile it under Windows as well. Can you
try to compile elogd without regex.c, like 

gcc -g -O -W -Wall -o elogd src/elogd.c

If that works fine, we don't have to compile regex.c under linux. But I guess
it's still needed fot Solaris and other non-GNU Unix brands.

  elogd.c shows the same warnings.

  This works OK.
 

[quote="Angus Au"]I came across problem in compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform.

Is there any fix ? I can compile elog 2.6.0 successfully on solaris.[/quote]

There is a fix, we have 2.6.1 running on Solaris.

A colleague of me installed it and did mention something about having to go through the source and adapting the 
makefile. I didn't hear him speak of missing libraries though, I will ask him next week.
