Thanks to the responses from Bevan Broun, Didier Godefroy,Con Tassios and
Galen Johnson
There are two methods to sole this problem.
1. Install GCC and use the GCC compiler to compile proftpd. -this works.
2. This is a known problem when trying to compile proftpd with the tru64 v5.1x
C compiler. Didier provided a a link to a more up to date version of
proftpd that came from the cvs wich has most of the fixes. Also a modified
configure script was provided by one of the proftpd developers to Didier
which he had forwarded on to me, worked like a dream.
