Try "SymlinkProgram YP-Tools 2.8" and see if it works. A little longer log
would be good too :)sC

Jonas: Thank you for guiding me towards the SymlinkProgram program. By
following your suggestion, it seems that the programs in YP-Tools all are
installed/sym-linked correctly. There is, however, some flaw in a configuration
script for YP-Tools, I guess: When trying e.g. "ypcat passwd", the error
message is "nickname file /var/yp/nicknames does not exist", the same file
as made "Compile" fail.

For the time being, I live happily with such small bugs. Again, thank you
for helping me.

EB.
