Hi,

Just tried to compile the above on Linux.  Everything is default except
for CFLAGS. Removed -g and added -O2. Got the following message:

make[2]: Entering directory `/root/wip/web2c-6.1e/web2c/web2c'
gcc -I./../lib -I../.. -O2  -c web2c.c
In file included from web2c.c:17:
web2c.h:59: macro `alloca' used without args
make[2]: *** [web2c.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/wip/web2c-6.1e/web2c/web2c'
make[1]: *** [do-web2c] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/wip/web2c-6.1e/web2c'

I know I should wait until the integrated package comes out but you know
... :). Does anybody know what to do here? Can send more info if needed.

No rush. Its the holidays ( and have a good at that).

Thanks.
