Re your hacks for struct timeval: there is some code in mytime.h and
in the configure script that tries to cope with exactly this situation
-- apparently it has failed. Could you mail me the config.h header
file generated by configure?
Re AF_UNIX: Wouldn't testing for the presence of AF_UNIX in the header
file be sufficient to determine whether to include it in the cases or
not? I hate to build dependencies on a particular version of a
particular system into the source...
Re test_grammar failure: my guess would be that your strtoul() doesn't
check for overflow. As a temporary solution, add strtoul.o to OBJS in
Makefile(.in) and see if that solves the matter; if so, I'll see if I
can come up with a test for this in the configure script. (Or maybe I
should just always use my "own" strtoul?)
For those of you in the U.S. of A., you can save some internet
resources by ftp'ing it from one of the mirror sites (from our ftp log
I've seen that they've fetched the 1.0.0beta file):
gatekeeper.dec.com 16.1.0.2 /pub/plan/python/cwi
ftp.uu.net 192.48.96.9 /languages/python
ftp.wustl.edu 128.252.135.4 /graphics/graphics/sgi-stuff/python
