Hi Wilbert. 

It appears the keyword hyper is foreign to C.  Where that is coming from
I have no idea.  Right now I don't have time to look for it, but I can
do so this evening if Stephane doesn't answer this.

BTW, Stephane, where are you?  I know he went on a skiing tri[ a few
weeks back, but I expected to hear something from him by now.  Hopefully
he is just busy.

Looking over the message again I see that you invoked make in the rpcrig
directory.  I'm not sure that this is supported.  I've always run make
from the root directory of the Hamlib source distribution.  You may want
to try the later CVS code directly from Sourceforge.  In the file
README.developer or README.betatester are the preliminary commands
needed to build the configuration code.  Also included are the required
versions of the various packages that need to be installed before the 
autgen.sh script is run.  This may mean some updates to your system.  
The CVS code of December 26, 2002 had the same requirements as the 
current CVS.

I've had no problems building the CVS code for the past two months or 
so on a Debian Testing system.  Since this has been upgraded over time,
I too had some weird problems until installing the needed automake and
autoconf tools solved the problems.
