Many systems has a broken nawk which causes very similar problems. Check that your signames.h again. It should begin like this (on SunOS 4.1.2): /** signals.h **/ /** architecture-customized signals.h for zsh **/ #define SIGCOUNT 31 If SIGCOUNT is smaller than 31 it is very likely that your signames.h is wrongly generated. If you read the BUGS file I included you can find this problem there. I did not mention SunOS there as I had no problems here compiling zsh on SunOS. I use zsh on SunOS 4.1.2, Solaris 2.3, OSF1 V2.0, AIX 3.2, Ultrix 4.2, some SVR4 os with m88k CPU, elf and aout-linux 1.2.x. I cannot test zsh on other OS (well if it is necessary I may get an account on a HP-UX). I use Solaris and Linux most so I may miss some problems on other OS's. The best fix is to get and compile gawk, put it in your path and reconfigure zsh (configure should notice gawk in your patch). Everything should compile and work fine after that. Zoltan
