I have been trying to get freeWAIS-sf running on BSD/OS. When
compiling, after 
taking out a couple of superfluous redeclarations of sys_errlist, make
bombs out on 
the field_l.l file saying:

flex  field_l.l
gcc -I../ctype -c lex.yy.c -o field_l.o
... [harmless warnings about BSD having been redefined]
field_l.l: In function `yylex':
field_l.l:48: `yylval' undeclared (first use this function)
field_l.l:48: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
field_l.l:48: for each function it appears in.)

One finds in the y.tab.h file the declaration of yylval
extern YYSTYPE yylval;

So I added this to field_y.h and found that query_l.l has the same
problem,
so I added the same line to query_y.h.

Now the compilation proceeds to completion , but on the tests 
included with the distribution, waisindex dumps core immediately after
starting the indexing operation.
The gdb backtrace looks like this:

#0  0x1efb9 in yylex (0xefbfd5fc, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
#1  0x1ed39 in yylex (0xefbfd5fc, 0xefbfdadb, 0xefbfd602, 0x00000000)
#2  0x1c72a in yyparse (0xefbfcd38, 0x0001c4d5, 0x0005b5a0,
0x00000000)
#3  0x1c3a8 in yywrap (0x0005b5a0, 0x00000000, 0x65742f2e, 0x2e677473)
#4  0x1c4d5 in init_add_fields (0x000a5020, 0xefbfd1c0, 0x000a4000,
0xefbfdab8)
#5  0x45d3 in main (0x00000001, 0xefbfda20, 0xefbfda28, 0xefbfdff0)

Among many other things I have tried taking out the "extern"
definition of
yylval 
or using yacc or byacc instead of bison -y. It is always the same.

If anybody has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.
