I am not sure about that. Indeed, it is said: Error messages from other noninteractive programs should look like this: program:sourcefile:lineno: message when there is an appropriate source file, or like this: program: message But, in that case, the file that cannot be opened is not a source file, rather it may be a generated intermediate file or an output file. So it seems to me that the condition "when there is an appropriate source file". Now, if "when there is an appropriate source file" is in fact to be interpreted as "when there is an appropriate file" more generally, then ok, but is it really the case? -- Pat
