I had somehow pulled a really old copy of tablet.h from > my cvs archive onto my system.... Something I've been doing for a while to avoid that is to augment the steps listed in src/UPDATING by prefixing the "make installworld" with rm -fr /usr/include.old && mv /usr/include{,.old} so once "make installworld" has completed, /usr/include is fresh. I have had very few breaks -- even in CURRENT -- over the years since adopting the approach. (And I generally track CURRENT daily.) Note that the approach is not appropriate for a machine that has /usr/include updated outside of the "make installworld" process -- but my machines don't have that issue. (Still, note that I "move aside" the old /usr/include, just in case....) Peace, david -- David H. Wolfskill david_at_catwhisker.org I submit that "conspiracy" would be an appropriate collective noun for cats. See http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/publickey.gpg for my public key.
