Peter,
Thank you for your help, first with the binary installation on RedHat 4.2 (which failed), then with compiling gpc (which worked after an aborted start :-)
I now have the 971001 beta (2.7.2.3) running and compiling some simple programs. But I still have a ways to go. This code, which compiled previously, fails now with a message that there is an undeclared identifier `Ch' in function Isalphanum on line 17.
I still haven't succeeded in compiling the 971001 beta (2.7.2.3) under solaris 2.5.1 as previously posted. No suggestions have been made so far. I got the same beta binary precompiled for dos and it seemed very stable to me at least.
I wish I could get it to work for this week.
Regards,
Clyde cmeli@cis.um.edu.mt
