After I typed make in the sources directory (/usr/alliance/source) I received a message that in the file /usr/alliance/sources/mbk/mbk_util.c line 80 (before the second 'char'), the type CHARBITS was not defined. I used 'grep' to 'CHAR*' definitions and I traced them to the file 'values.h', but there was no 'CHARBITS' declaration. I wonder if I need a newer version of libc or an older version of Alliance. I would appreciate it if you answer my question. SY P.S.- Please don't fill my email with junk-mail, thankyou. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
