IBM are aware of the problem. I'm putting this report into 'analyzed' so we can notify you of the correction if and when we get one.

Please talk with your IBM Service Rep. to see if your compiler is effected. > Synopsis: syntax error in distributed httpd.conf file > > State-Changed-From-To: analyzed-closed > State-Changed-By: shaneo@raleigh.ibm.com > State-Changed-When: Sun Dec 13 14:54:32 PST 1998 > State-Changed-Why: > The AIX compiler problem which gave the error of > "on Expected but saw " has been fixed. > + A set of PTF's which correct the problem are available from: > + http://service.software.ibm.com/support/rs6000 > + The PTF's are: U462005, U462006, U462007, and U462023 through > + U462030.

Comment-Added-By: shaneo@raleigh.ibm.com Comment-Added-When: Mon Feb 1 07:34:08 PST 1999 Comment-Added: According to the IBM compiler people: The AIX 4.3 compiler is old and out of support. The AIX 3.6.4 C/C++ compiler problem is fixed with the PTF's listed above The only forthcoming comiler fix is for the AIX 4.4 C compiler and this PTF's to fix this will be available in April 99. Sorry for any confusion that IBM numbering scheme has caused. Comment-Added-By: shaneo@raleigh.ibm.com Comment-Added-When: Thu May 27 12:42:49 PDT 1999 Comment-Added: IBM has released a fix their 4.4 C compiler. The APAR number is IX87837, you can go to: http://service.software.ibm.com/cgi-bin/support/rs6000.support/downloads use the AIX Fix Distribution Service, and search on the APAR number above, it will pull up the updated filesets with the fix. Evidently this fix has been available for a while, but I just got wind of the updated APAR.
