- This problem originates in the new include-files as packaged in inc-4.2.TZ.
- There are these two links set up to point to
-
- /net/irl/users/hlu/local/{asm|linux}
-
- or some such. Maybe the maintainor of this package could set up these links
- (and the Makefiles etc/pp) to be correct for the target-machines before
- posting them? This coud save some trouble for some people and some typing
- for other people who are kind enough to answer questions.
