Yes, I get the same behaviour.

This package seems very useful (it would probably solve some things I
currently use expect for), but unfortunately I can't get it to compile:

AIX 4.3.3 with IBM's C for AIX compiler:
(needed to remove #define CONF_SECURE_H and #define PTYGET_SECURE)

        ./compile ptyget.c
"hasptmx.h", line 1: 1506-229 (W) File is empty.
"ptyget.c", line 97.3: 1506-045 (S) Undeclared identifier s.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

AIX 5.2.0 with gcc version 2.9-aix51-020209:
(needed to remove #define CONF_SECURE_H and #define PTYGET_SECURE)

./compile ptyget.c
ptyget.c: In function `pty45':
ptyget.c:97: `s' undeclared (first use in this function)
ptyget.c:97: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
ptyget.c:97: for each function it appears in.)
ptyget.c: In function `main':
ptyget.c:169: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'
make: *** [ptyget.o] Error 1

Linux 2.4.18 (glibc 2.2.5) with gcc 2.95.3:

./compile ptyget.c
ptyget.c:23: sys/stream.h: No such file or directory
ptyget.c:24: sys/ptms.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [ptyget.o] Error 1


So, unfortunately it seems I'm stuck. However, I *am* interested in getting
ptyget to run, also because that seems to be a nice solution to some other
(unrelated) problems I had. I'm not really a C wizard, where can I get help
in getting ptyget to run?

Thanks,
