Error in termcap-1.3 compilation.

[Oleg Kornilov]

Hello!

I have PentiumIII with SuSe 7.3 installed.
While trying to install SciGraphica I crossed with the problem that I have no
readline headers installed. So I decided to get a last version of readline and
install it from sources(4.2a). It worked out. But it is appiared, that readline
wants to have libtermcap installed which I hadn't. So I tried to install
termcap-1.3 from ftp.gnu.org and crossed over compilation error:

gcc -c  -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1
-DTERMCAP_FILE=\"/etc/termcap\" -I. -I. -g tparam.c
In file included from tparam.c:29:
/usr/include/string.h:242: parse error before `('
/usr/include/string.h:242: warning: conflicting types for built-in function
`memcpy'
/usr/include/string.h:242: parse error before `__const'
make: *** [tparam.o] Error 1

I fixed it by swapping two defines in tparam.c.
Thank you for free software development.
