    I don't know if this is the right newsgroup to ask for help, but
    it stands to reason that surely somebody here has installed rrn.

    I went to ucbvax, ftp'd nntp.1.5 and rrn.39 (which are supposed to
    reasonably current; anyway, nntp.1.5 Installation docs say to get
    version 39, and that's what I got), and lo! Larry Wall's chatty
    Configure script whines because nntp.1.5 lacks critical .h files.
    If I hack out the complaining code in Configure, *all* of the compiles
    fail. (We're running 4.0.3 on Sun4's).

    Evidently, nobody running nntp.1.5 also runs rrn.39, regardless of
    what the source code says, right? If so, just what does it take
    bring rrn up?
