Thanks for the tips

Bruce,
Thanks for the tips. I also changed configure to install without Perl.
Anyway, it "gmade" and installed well. I tried running postmaster in
interactive mode and it seems to hang, but it runs well in daemon mode, so
I'm happy. I look forward to 6.5.
Again, thanks for your help. Your tips were right on for me.
Cheers,
Gary

Try gmake distclean, re-run configure, and see if that helps. I run
bsdi here, and 6.5 should be better with this.

Following up on my compile problem, I've read the list archives for

great

clues and had a good reply from Bruce to last night's query. (I hope
someone turns these hints into an FAQ for BSDi users.)

I've overcome the flex problem by renaming lex and then making a link

lex

-> flex.
I also installed bison 1.27 and renamed yacc, making a link yacc ->

bison

Now when I run 'gmake all', I get the following error:
