Hi,

I had to apply the attached patch to convince SuSE Linux 12.2 to compile mana.c
gcc version is "(SUSE Linux) 4.6.2"

Problem is that gz{write,close, etc.} expect a 1st argument of type gzFile (see
zlib.h), whereas out_file is FILE*. In fact, out_file is a cast to FILE*, even
in the case when we work on a gzfile (HAVE_ZLIB).

Could you please confirm that the patch is correct, and possibly apply it to trunk?

I haven't checked if mana works as advertised now.

Cheers,


Randolf
