EPS-GS 8.15.2 compile fails - rpl_malloc

[Rufus Laggren]

THis problem has been reported and dealt with several times, based on net comments. I have tried a couple fixes in the Configure script, lastly commenting out completely the test section which redefines malloc; this just seemed to move the failure to a different calling module. I searched the files in the GS install dirs for any ref's to rpl_malloc (found none). At this point, I'm at the end of the obvious solutions - don't know where the ref to rpl_malloc is coming from. I run Suse10.0 w/all the latest patches.

Below are some lines from the "make" output. Besides the "rpl_malloc" problem, I know there are other mods missing; I have been fixing those easily by installing the /devel packages as I get further in the compile (as the compiler coughs up more "undefined"s - in this case it's a bmp_map_xx module). malloc appears to be getting redefined somewhere, but where... ?

I haven't done much compiling under Linux; the last time I worked regular with compilers was w/IBM in the 80's. Afraid I haven't gotten any quicker at it... <g>  Any ideas would be appreciated. Maybe I'm just doing something blind&dumb.

Cheers, Rufus
