Hi, I just wanted to give an update on compiling fish on an older system (Slackware 8.0, from 2001). Following Egon's tip, I upgraded gcc from gcc-2.95.3 to gcc-3.2.3 and as a result fish now happily compiles (with glibc-2.2.3 and doxygen-1.2.18).
Unfortunately, though, whenever I try to start fish I get the following error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] fish fish: Co StandardWelcome to fish, the friendly interactive shell Type help for instructions on how to use fish set_color: Expected an argument [EMAIL PROTECTED] set_color - Set the terminal color \section set_color-synopsis set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]> @ \section set_color-description Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal.

In fact, this seems to be basically the same problem that Stefan Nicolin described using fish on Mac OS X Tiger back in Dec. (but to which no one replied): http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=9297954&forum_id=45104 I should add that set_color alone can change the color on the console on my system but it seems to have no effect in xterm or rxvt (but it doesn't give an error when used alone in either case). Does anyone have an idea what is causing the error above? It looks like a kind of parsing error. As nice as fish seems, it does appear to tacitly assume a rather recent system to work as intended, which is OK, but it would be nice to try to make these assumptions as explicit as possible.
