I've been trying to compile the aol web server but I cannot get it to
compile. This is the error I am getting:

tcl8x.c:48: redefinition of `Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'
../include/tcl.h:402: `Tcl_ThreadCreateProc' previously declared here
tcl8x.c:290: syntax error before `*'
gmake[1]: *** [tcl8x.o] Error 1
gmake: *** [all] Error 1

I've looked at the includes and deffintions and I can't understand why
there could be an error on line 290: 

   280	 * Side effects:
   281	 *	May block the current thread.  The mutex is aquired when
   282	 *	this returns.  Will allocate memory for a Ns_Mutex
   283	 *	and initialize this the first time this Tcl_Mutex is used.
   284	 *
   285	 *----------------------------------------------------------------------
   286	 */
   287	
   288	NS_EXPORT void
   289	Tcl_MutexLock(mutexPtr)
   290	    Tcl_Mutex *mutexPtr;	/* Really (Ns_Mutex **) */
   291	{
   292	    Ns_Mutex *nsmutexPtr = (Ns_Mutex *) mutexPtr;
   293	
   294	    if (*nsmutexPtr == NULL) {
   295		MASTER_LOCK;
   296		if (*nsmutexPtr == NULL) {
   297		    static int next;
   298		    char buf[20];
   299	

There are references to in the includes to Tcl_Mutex_ as well as
Tcl_Mutex. I am not a C programmer so I'm not able to debug this. I think
it might have to do with the version of gcc that comes with netbsd? Or it
could be the wrong makefile options. (there are no netbsd sets)

I will put the Makefile on the end of this email. I've tried openbsd and
freebsd flag sets with no help. (both give the same error) With the
solaris options it compiles fine under solaris, but with the freebsd or
openbsd options it returns the exact same error as netbsd.

Could I make a new entry for netbsd? What flags should it have? perhaps a
combination of openbsd and solaris flags?

I would greatly appriciate any help you could give me.

Thanks for your time.
