Re: Error trying to compile pspp using up-to-date gnulib

[Michel Boaventura]

Hi Simon,

I've tried a grep "./\"unilbrk" but it doesn't find anything. I guess
this may be a complicated problem, so I ask one of the pspp-dev team
to make me a snapshot of pspp, because I only got this error trying to
make pspp with the git version of both pspp and gnulib.

Thanks for the help,

Michel
