Why is this program not compiling when the Gcc command is used . This
is a out of the K&R book, Gcc 4.4.4 Slackware 13.1 x86_64 . the error
is........conflicting types for 'getline'
note
previous declaration of 'getline' was here
It does however compile with the g++ command..........This is the
code..........................
