- I believe this is due to the Configure script defining both TZNAME
- and TZ_MINUTESWEST in "config.h". This breaks the code in getarpadate() .
-
- At the end of the Configure run, when it offers you to edit config.sh,
- take your chance and change the value of d_tzname to 'undef' and make
- sure the value of d_tz_min is 'define'.
-
- This did the trick for me.
