The rsaix compiler complains about redefining index and rindex
which are redefined (defined) in the athena inc;lude files.
Here is the error comment from rsaix
-----
augmented-troxel% make
xlc -qro -D_ALL_SOURCE -I/usr/athena/include -Dibm -DSYSV -DAPPCLA
SS=\"Fsmd\" -DXFILESEARCHPATH=\"/mit/6.111/lib/%T/%N\" -c dialogs.c
"/usr/athena/include/X11/Xos.h", line 60.0: 1506-213 (S) Macro name index cannot
be redefined.
"/usr/athena/include/X11/Xos.h", line 61.0: 1506-213 (S) Macro name rindex canno
t be redefined.
The error code from the last failed command is 1.
Make Quitting.

Here is the fron of /usr/athena/include/X11/Xos.h
(with X11R5 attached)
/*
* Just about everyone needs the strings routines. We provide both forms here,
* index/rindex and strchr/strrchr, so any systems that don't provide them all
* need to have #defines here.
*/
#ifndef X_NOT_STDC_ENV
#include <string.h>
#define index strchr
#define rindex strrchr
#else
#ifdef SYSV
#include <string.h>
#define index strchr
#define rindex strrchr
#else

Can you either fix the include file, tell me how to get around it, or
tell me what I am doing wrong???
I am usually at MIT on Mon, Wed, and Thurs, this summer and would be
glad to talk to anyone if that would be helpful.
I don't understand why rsaix is so fussy. Why shouldn't one be
able to redefine macros if one wants to.
