- Subject: rn won't compile on my SCO UNIX

- I just got a copy of SCO UNIX 3.2 and the accompanying development
- system and installed it on my 386 PC. I was planning to compile our
- sources for CNEWS and rn on this machine and give them a go, but have
- run into what may be a less-than-minor problem. rn won't compile. I
- keep getting errors about stuff being left at the end of the undef,
- else and endif lines, as well as a bunch of syntax errors I'm still
- trying to wade through.
-
- The problem, from what I get out of the manual, is that the compiler
- is version 4 or 5, with more stringent source rules and the compiler I
- used to compile this stuff before (on a Xenix system) was version 3
- which accepted this strangeness.
-
- I figure someone out there must have been through this before. Any
- help?
-
- The problems have cropped up here and there with a bunch of packages,
- but rn is the only one that has bombed (we're at patch level 47 from
- UUNET archives). I haven't tried CNEWS yet (I mean, if I can't get rn
- to work ...)
