A couple of days ago, I posted a request for help compiling the web2c- generated bibtex. The code being generated was causing the compiler to fail. Well, I got this suggestion from Stephen F. Scherock (stephen@media-lab.media.mit.edu), who in turn got it from Karl Berry: Try uncommenting the last two lines in bibtex/convert if you are having troubles with this: sed -e 's/(buftype)//g' -e 's/(pdstype)//g' < coerce.h > xcoerce.h mv -f xcoerce.h coerce.h Unfortunately, I seem to recall that this makes it fail on an RS/6000 under AIX. But it does make it work on a Sun 4 running 4.x. The compilation did indeed work (on a tahoe running 4.3bsd) once I did this. Thanks for the help. Glenn Little glittle@ucsd.edu little%cs@ucsd.edu
