| when i compile some programs that i download, they exit with this error:
warning: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
aside from modifying the source code, is there away to tell gcc to use
tmpnam anyway? i know the problems with tmpnam, and i'm not very concerned
with them for the system the programs are run on.
regards,

Yes: don't use -Werror

sitting on your hands.

That's a warning, not an error. Your program is being compiled and
linked just fine.
