Re: Error compiling 7.1 on Caldera OpenLinux

Our tech support team here at Caldera report no problem building 7.1 on our latest
OpenLinux Server which is in final beta at present.  This problem should go away
for OpenLinux users very soon and was nice to see the fix for eServer 2.3.1 was
very simple.
