  This was fixed some time ago: you're using very old versions of the
software.

Mon Jun 3 16:04:31 2002 UTC (2 years, 11 months ago) by rth 

http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/sim/igen/lf.c.diff?r1=1.1&r
2=1.2&cvsroot=src&f=h

  It's because old compilers used to allow you to write a string in C that
extended across multiple lines without requiring you to escape the line-ends
to mark it as a continuation.  That style of string has been depracated for
some time now; you need to either backslash-quote the line ends, or place
closing quotes at the end of each line and opening quotes at the start and
allow the ANSI-string-concatenation rule to take care of it.  So you're
seeing this problem only because you're using a more modern version of the
compiler to try and build old code.  Anyway, take a look at the patch as
shown above and you'll see how to fix it.

    cheers,
      DaveK
