I know a little more than you it seems >about yacc and lex :) , but still couldnt solve the problem. i was wondering >if it wsa just perhaps problems between free version of the interpreters >and the "real" versions. The problem is that the LEX clone (flex) predefines a macro "yywrap" which conflicts with the simple function defined on line 155 of newsrc.y. The simple fix is to wrap that function definition with: #ifndef yywrap ... #endif caveat: this advice is from memory. I compiled XRN on NetBSD 0.9. I remember also having problems with pattern matching, since NetBSD had neither "regex" or "re_exec" (or something along those lines). I can send you patches if you need them.
