I did this for hours and hours when I was porting TeX to my AViiON. It is
a subtle and creepy error. What is actually happening is this:
On your aviion in the /usr/include directory there is a file named
memory.h which is included by /usr/include/string.h
In your TeX source directory there is a file named memory.h which
TeX is using for soemthing or other.
The TeX Makefiles run the compiler with lots of -I flags telling the
preprocessor where to find things.
The preprocessor winds up either getting /usr/include/memory.h where
it expects the local memory.h or vice-versa (I forget which).
Personally, I was disgusted by DG referencing a non-standard header in
string.h, so I changed the /usr/include/string.h on my system to inline
expand the stuff it actually needed from memory.h.
If you aren't the sysadm of this DG system, you might have to do something
like make a local copy of the /usr/include/string.h file in the same directory
which already has the local copy of memory.h and fix your copy of string.h
to expand the stuff from /usr/include/memory.h
Good luck.
