Thanks to everyone that responded.  I've installed the patch and it's
now working.  In fact, I'm using it under vn to send this follow up.

For those that may be having the same problem use the old emacs.c from
18.52.  If you've already got the new source undo the following patch.

Thanks to all the people who responded to my request for help when
I was unable to locate header files required for building GNU Emacs 
on a sVr3 system.

Found a general do-it-yourself-leave-the-local-unix-wizard-alone solution
for missing header files:

    1. comment out the missing header file in source.
    2. compile the code.
    3. examine the lines of source where errors occured.
    4. grep through all header files looking for declaration of undefined 
       structures, fields, or variables.
    5. change header file in source according to findings in step 4.

The above steps worked well in finding missing header files for GNU Emacs,
and I would imagine it would work well generally.

Any Comments?


Thanks,
