I have a problem (dont we all)

I am designing software on a Sun Sparc 2, in c and I am using cc to compile it.
It comilies fine in work, but when I take the source home and try to compile it
in Linux with gcc I get the following problems.

Im using gcc -ansi - traditional

In the following code, claimline is an array, s_time is type Double

            if (claimline[i].tra_det.s_time != NULL)

On the sun I can compile this code and the process of checking a double for NULL works
fine. But in Linux using gcc I get an incompatable data type error.

I know that I could just write

            if (claimline[i].tra_det.s_time != 0.0)

and this would work, but if possible I just want to tell gcc to ignore and allow these such statements.

Please can someone tell me how to get around this problem with gcc.

Thanks for the help. Paz
