This warning
> <stdin>:2: warning: Illegal digit in octal number "008000"
may be ignored. It does not appear to affect the functioning of the
xrdb command.
A bit more information: xrdb files may use C-style macros. This is
done by invoking the C preprocessor. On Ubuntu LTS, the preprocessor
that xrdb invokes is called 'mcpp_prestd'. It issues this warning, but
also gives the desired result. Example:
$ echo '080' | mcpp_prestd 2>/dev/null
# 1 "<stdin>"
080
You may silence this erroneous warning by using
xrdb -cpp "/usr/bin/mcpp_prestd [EMAIL PROTECTED] -W0" -merge filename
