I have the current version (according to dselect) of all the hamm packages. Here is an example of compiling Taper 6.8.2: # make echo "#define CUR_VERSION \""6.8.2"\"" > version.h make depend make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/taper-6.8.2' gcc -M -I/usr/include/ncurses vars.c common.c endianize.c tapeio.c rtapelib.c sel_backup.c backup.c sel_restore.c restore.c utils.c mkinfo.c taper.c bg_backup.c \ bg_restore.c > .depend make -C compress depend make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/taper-6.8.2/compress' gcc -M -I/usr/include/ncurses zip.c unzip.c bits.c trees.c deflate.c inflate.c util.c lzrw3.c > .depend make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/taper-6.8.2/compress' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/taper-6.8.2' gcc -O6 -fno-strength-reduce -Wall -pipe -DLINUX -D_GNU_SOURCE -Dlint -DTRIPLE_BUFFER -I/usr/include/ncurses -o vars.o -c vars.c In file included from taper.h:43, from vars.c:17: select_box.h:125: parse error before `umode_t' make: *** [vars.o] Error 1 I used to be able to compile this program! -Paul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
