   Can anyone help me? Im trying to install Inn1.4 on a box that has Free BSD
   installed on it. I succesfully managed to install Inn1.4 (after a lot of
   tweaking) on  a Linux Box. The problem is I cant even get it to compile!
   After editing the config.fata file and running either of make world/
   make/make install in the main news directory it complains about a syntax 
   error in {newsdir}/config/subst (which came w/the tar file!) and 
   conflicting types in the include files for `lseek' and `sys_errlist'.
   I know its probably incorrect settings in {newsdir}/config/config.data
   - so does anyone know where I can download/view a known working config.data
   file for INN1.4 on Free BSD. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Use the inn port.  If you installed all the ports, it should be in
/usr/ports/news/inn; if not, grab it out of the FreeBSD 2.1 ports area.

Do

  cd /usr/ports/news/inn
  make fetch extract patch configure       # should grab and untar the inn src
  vi work/inn1.4unoff3/config/config.data  # if you need to manaully set things
  make all install                         # compiled and installs

and you're mostly done.  Now you need to configure inn...which is different
from compiling.


Use the ports whenever you can.  Even if you don't want to use the port
defaults, at least go through the port patch files and use what you need.
