Error building tabix module

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Untar pysam-0.3.tar.gz
2. run python setup.py build

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In file included from tabix/bgzf.c:36:
tabix/bgzf.h: In function `bgzf_getc':
tabix/bgzf.h:148: warning: implicit declaration of function `ftello'
tabix/bgzf.c: At top level:
tabix/bgzf.c:44: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
tabix/bgzf.c:50: error: conflicting types for 'ftello'
tabix/bgzf.h:148: error: previous implicit declaration of 'ftello' was here
tabix/bgzf.c:115: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
RedHat EL 4.8, gcc 3.4.6

Please provide any additional information below.

I was able to fix the problem by moving the #if def block that includes the 
ftello define in bgzf.c above the #include 'bgzf.h' line.

The stock files worked out of the box on a Mac 10.6 box, so the issue is likely 
just dealing with an older version of gcc.

I'm attaching the patch that I used.

Hi,

thanks for submitting the bug and providing a fix. I am hesitant to apply it
to bgzf.c as I want to avoid patching tabix source. Hopefully, this bug will be 
fixed in newer versions of tabix. In the meantime, your fix should help others 
with gcc 3.4

Thanks,
Andreas
