I didn't specify the directory, leaving it to use the default. Anyway, it decided to install them in a directory named 'yes'. This was with IRIX 5.3 if that's relevant. I'll hopefully have time to look into it in more detail on the weekend if it isn't fixed first. Personally, I would prefer if the directory structure from the distribution for the completion functions was preserved by the installation (Base, Builtins, Commands etc). It would keep the directory more manageable. Also, it might allow different users to have a different selection of the functions on the same system. Another suggestion would be to separate some of the functions in User which are system dependant into separate directories which can be selected from. For example, there could be directories for Gnu, BSD, SYSV, AIX, IRIX, Linux etc. When compiling on IRIX, I got a load of warnings relating to typedef unsigned long; being duplicate in /usr/include/sys/types.h. I don't think I've seen them before. I assume that the warnings resulted from something the pre-processor was doing. Is this possibly a result of the long file changes. Again, I should have more time on the weekend to take a closer look at this. I sent the following e-mail to the list yesterday and it didn't seem to get through. Sorry if you end up with it twice. The -l option to compctl seems to be broken. I first noticed this a while ago (about pws-18), it exists in pws-21 but wasn't there in a pws-16 I had lying about. For example: zsh -f compctl -l '' t t Gives a beep. I get the same problems when using the find -exec example from the documentation. The problem exists on both AIX and IRIX. Thanks Oliver Kiddle PS. Peter: I've cc'd this to you because I suspect that it will fail to be delivered as I've had a few problems recently with my ISP not being able to deliver to zsh-workers. If you don't get it from the mailing list, please forward it.
