Re: compiling twin
Yup, compiling it under Debian is a bit of a chore. I already reported
the yacc problem. It seems that twin doesn't like bison yet, but the
next release should be a bit more tolerent. As for the installdir, the
approach you are taking is quite similar to what i have done. I got it
to compile under libc5 without too much effort. I am currently working
with the developers to get it to compile under libc6. I do not intend to
package up a libc5 version. If I had settled with libc5, the package
would already be released. Currently, twin has some symbol conflicts
and a few other things that make it not (yet) work with glibc.
