Help! I've been trying to install the patches on our Vaxes (running UNIX 5.0), but I keep having problems. I had problems with "uid" in postnews.c and "COLS" in virtterm.c being multiply defined after patch #1, so I made some kludges around that. Now I'm getting: a> [bunch of stuff deleted] a> cc -O -DUSG -Dindex=strchr -Drindex=strrchr -DRNEWS=\"/usr/bin/rnews\" -DSPOOLDIR=\"/../mtgzz/usr/spool/news\" -DBATCHDIR=\"/../mtgzz/usr/spool/batch\" -DLIBDIR=\"/../mtgzz/usr/lib/news\" -DBINDIR=\"/usr/bin\" -DNEWSUSR=\"news\" -DNEWSGRP=\"news\" -DSCCSID -Dvfork=fork -DCHKN -c pathinit.c a> mv pathinit.o cpathinit.o a> cc -s -i checknews.o process.o cpathinit.o rextern.o -o checknews -lPDU a> ld: Symbol _mode multiply defined.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Evelyn C. Leeper (201) 957-2070 UUCP: ihnp4!mtgzy!ecl ARPA: mtgzy!ecl@rutgers.rutgers.edu Life is a metaphor.
