The problem with the above is that the C compiler was not given the
option "-D_HPUX_SOURCE" (as indicated in the INSTALL file).  Try the
following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".  Don't worry if it fails
        or even fails to execute.

    3.  Remove the file "config.cache" if it exists.

    4.  Set your environment variables as before according to the
        instructions in the INSTALL file.

    5.  Ensure that the environment variable CFLAGS contains the string
        "-D_HPUX_SOURCE".

    6.  Continue with the installation process starting with step 6 of
        the "REPORTING PROBLEMS" section in the INSTALL file.
