Dick> There are three minor details to fix in the 1.6 distribution for Dick> RISC 6000: [ details deleted ] I am confused about the 'cpp' in the config.dist-IBMR2 file. It defines cpp as /usr/local/lib/cpp, which is not the one that IBM supplies! When util/imake runs /lib/cpp on the file util/generic, the /lib/cpp program barfs at the line: /**/#------------------What to do claiming that it is an invalid # command (which is certainly is). Is the intent of the /**/ in that line to prevent cpp from attempting to process the line as a cpp directive? Anyway, I also tried using the public domain cpp from volume 1 of comp.sources.unix and got similar complaints. Is there another cpp that I should be using? -- John D.
