RE: Weird error messages....

It's seems that you are using a non-gnu 'as'. Suggest you downloading gnu
'binutils',
 install it and make sure the correct 'as' is used ( the simplest way is rm
/usr/ccs/bin/as :-) ).

Subject: Weird error messages....






I have successfully managed to compile and make some example pieces of c
code
that make use of DBLIBRARY to
retrieve data from a database.

However, when I try to do the same for my piece of c code (which
historically
worked) I get the following "weird" error
messages, which I do not understand:

========================================
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccSWYwNz.s", line 4127: error: unknown opcode
".subse
ction"
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccSWYwNz.s", line 4127: error: statement syntax
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccSWYwNz.s", line 4135: error: unknown opcode
".previ
ous"
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccSWYwNz.s", line 4135: error: statement syntax
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `syb2gom'
========================================

Could somebody tell me:

a) What this means?
b) How it can be resolved?

I have gone through the code and see nothing wrong with the syntax.

Thanks in advance
