Whew... I'm not sure where I had gone wrong, but the config.data files
that came in were almost identical to mine. Nevertheless, using three of
the config.data files that came in allowed me to compile INN with GCC
2.7.2. Oddly enough, the lint errors I had still came up when I turned
off the lint parsing in the config.data file.
Here is the config.data file that I decided to use in the end. Also, if
anyone would like the full archive (without binaries) that I have
archived for later compiling (my UltraSPARC came in yesterday but shipped
without a keyboard, power cables or a proper CD-ROM cable (50-68 pin), I
will send it to you via email encoded (specify which encoding - I use Pine).
NOTE: use this as reference only, any text formatting your reader might
do could mess up the file, which is processed with "sed".
