Hi,

the following code fragment did _not_ compile properly:

	void some_function (char * s)
	{
		char * d;
		d = strcpy (alloca (strlen (s) + 1), s);
		printf ("%s copied as %s\n", s, d);
	}

There are some problems using "alloca" as part of a functions  
parameter list.

try this:

void some_function(char *s) {
	char *d;

	strcpy((d=(char*)malloc(strlen(s)+1)),s);
	printf("%s copied as %s\n", s, d);
}

Also, make sure you have the proper libraries and header files included into  
your makefile and .c file.
