I am trying to compile a version of gnu telnetd with includes and libraries
from the Vintela.com VAS tool. My platform is Sun Solaris 9 Sparc. The
configure line is<
$ ./configure --disable-clients  --with-pam --enable-encryption
CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/vas/include  -I/usr/local/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/opt/vas/lib -L/usr/local/lib"
>


but the compile bombs out early on with this message<
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..  -DPATH_TTY_PFX=\"/dev/\"
-DPATH_DEVNULL=\"/dev/null\"  -I../include  -I/opt/vas/include 
-I/usr/local/include -I/include  -g -O2 -MT xmalloc.o -MD -MP -MF
".deps/xmalloc.Tpo" \
  -c -o xmalloc.o `test -f 'xmalloc.c' || echo './'`xmalloc.c; \
then mv ".deps/xmalloc.Tpo" ".deps/xmalloc.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/xmalloc.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi

  I had previously soft linked error.h when the compile complained
about not being able to find it. Now it finds it, it complains
further. Need help to get past this problem.
Thanks

You should use /usr/include first.

Your error.h from /usr/local/include is no good.
Use that in /usr/include instead.

There is no error.h in Sun Solaris /usr/include
