Has anyone been able to compile c-news on the NeXT (2.0)? I just managed to get a uucp mail and news feed and need to get my news up and running. If you have it working, please let me know how you did it, if there was anything special you had to do, and any tricks or traps you discovered.

I did it in the space of an afternoon. You should be prepared to have some disk space (at least 10 to 20 megabytes for a small-medium feed). Get Cnews from uunet and follow the directions in Managing UUCP and USENET by O'Reilly Associates and you should be all set. If you need help running the configuration script, send me e-mail and I'll give you mine. - jiro -- Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com The Shaman Group (607) 256-5125 VOICE "Bring your dead, dying shamans here!"

Would someone who's successfully compiled C-News please post or e-mail their build.def file? I've been struggling with this for several days. I tried to follow Jiro Nakamura's Build session posted here recently, but it wouldn't work for me (some problem with _memsys or the like). I'm running 2.1 on a '040 cube... Thanks! Steve
