[Aubit4gl-discuss] comiling from cvs on SuSE8.0

On SuSE 8.0 the last CVS (build 193) compiled as far as compilers/ace
then fell over through running no instead of yacc.
This is similar to an earlier problem you fixed a few days ago.

Attached are the logs in a tar.gz file.

I have given up on RH6.2 (I may get back to it later and look at awk
versions). It is quite difficult to upgrade some utilities on RH6.2 and
earlier (RPM is incompatible with later versions, for example).
Unfortunately it is also difficult to upgrade client sites to later
versions on production systems (typically /usr overflows). Hence my
interest in getting a 6.2 version of Aubit4GL. Sigh!

Documentation:

In the meantime, I have read all the documentation (the last resort of
the incompetent?). I can see that it is out of date and inconsistent.
In particular,  the material in the doc directory of aubit4glsrc is at
odds with the aubit4gldoc documents. There is conflicting advice re ODBC
and connection methods. The change to using aubit and aubit-config as
wrappers is not in the aubti4gldoc documents.
So I am offering to help put that right. But to do so, I will need to be
a real bother to people like you and Mike - lots of questions etc.

So, if I can get aubit4gl running on say SuSE8.0 and RH7.3 or later, I
will offer to edit the documentation and attempt to keep it in sync with
the changes that you developers make.
