Does anyone have rn running on a AT&T 3B2? I'm having problems getting
rn version 4.3 to compile. Got around a couple of redeclarations but now
I've got a syntax error in ngdata.c. Doesn't seem to like the line
register DIR *dirp
Also I get a ton of "extra token (ignored) after directive" errors
should I be concerned about these?
Thanks

I don't know where you can get it, off hand, but you might try uunet and so on. > Also I get a ton of "extra token (ignored) after directive" errors > should I be concerned about these? The C preprocessor is just niggling about "#endif MUMBLE" lines. It's not the code's fault, and they has nothing to do with how well it actually compiles. I'd just ignore them.

The problem mentioned was just discussed in u3b.sources, with the source to libndir posted (about 2 weeks ago).

I'm getting frustrated.... Fixing rn to work on a SysVr3+ system requires three changes in ngdata.c: include <dirent.h> instead of "ndir.h", and change "struct direct" to "struct dirent" in two places. There is no need to fix ndir.c. There is no need to install Doug Gwyn's dirent library (though it's a nice library, and may actually be better than the one which is part of your libc). This problem has been discussed a million times I'm sure, but it seems that the wrong answers are given still. BTW, I would suggest that non-SysVr3+ sites make the above mentioned changes to all programs using the directory(3{c,x}) functions, and install Doug Gwyn's dirent library. -- Greg A.
