Yes, but she didn't ask about the bison problem, and my gcc-2 message you mention above didn't exactly go into much detail - even *if* someone found it and read it completely, I can understand them not linking it to the compile errors caused. >> I *will* continue to help those who ask good questions about setup. > > Do as you please.
