Re: Install question

Jack,

I seem to recall seeing this on the list before.  If I'm right, it's a bug
in ftpcmd.y, but early versions of bison and yacc are tolerant of the invalid
syntax, while newer ones aren't.

If you have bison 1.35 or earlier (or Berkeley yacc 1.9), try that.  If not,
try editing ftpcmd.y to change all occurrences of "<tab>=<tab>{" to "<tab>{".

Thanks to Keith Thompson, who first diagnosed this issue and reported it to
the list.

Good luck !

Cheers, Bob
