Message-ID: <1994Nov17.152127.862@rhrk.uni-kl.de> Organization: University of Kaiserslautern, Germany Date: Thu, 17 Nov 1994 15:21:27 GMT Lines: 29 Hello, I tried to get xrn for FreeBSD 1.1 running. I tried both 6.17 and 6.18something . After some tweaking 6.17 got stopped when compiling the lex/yacc output. I gave up on this since I know virtually nothing on lex and yacc. I got 6.18 to compile (also after some minor changing) but it stops at link stage not finding the sympols _re_exec and _re_comp - but I didn't findf thos symbols - neither in the xrn source nor in the complete FreeBSD source tree... so I guss the problem is something else... Also, are there alternative suggestions for a good X-Based nntp- newsreader ? I checked out the precompiled Vnews, but this thing needs several minutes on startup and nearly 6 MB of memory - I guess it tries to read, analyse and hold the whole .newsrc in memory, which brings my poor little 386/40 with 8 megs to his knees... :-( Regards Christoph Weber-Fahr -- Christoph Weber-Fahr | E-Mail: weber@rhrk.uni-kl.de Universitaet Kaiserslautern, KIT | S-Mail: Postfach 3049 Tel. 0631/205-3391 | D-67653 Kaiserslautern -------------------------- My personal opinion only ---------------------
