hello,

I'm trying to compile Harvest on a BSDI box (2.0) and am getting these weird
_syntax_ errors (below).
I looked at the offending file, /usr/include/sys/stat.h and it looks just
fine to me, I don't see any syntax errors at all.

Does anyone have any idea what the cause of this could be?

Errors I get are below, and all the way down are lines 50-60, which is where
the first error occurs (lines 54-55)

Thanks

Otis

Make sure your program pulls in the header file defining the
missing types (<stddef.h>, methinks) _before_ <sys/stat.h>.

I.e. in agrep.c, say

#include <stddef.h>

...

#include <sys/stat.h>

The types aren't defined ...
You need to include /usr/include/sys/types.h first.
