I did a 'cast -r -d xfree86' and appear to have downloaded the patch to fix
this problem. Unfortunately it looks like the patch is not being applied
correctly.

Applying xftgram patch Thanks to Andrew Stitt
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
----------------------------------
|*** /usr/src/xc/lib/Xft/xftgram.y
|--- /usr/src/xc/lib/Xft/xftgram.y
----------------------------------
File to patch:

It then prompts for the correct file to patch, and I tired
/usr/src/xc/lib/Xft/xftgram.y but the compile still failed with the same
error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tyleanith

that looks to be an error in the sources, line 168 lacks a semicolon to
end the production for a matrix. if theres not already a bug for this
we can open one and i'll submit the patch i just made for it.

(note, the above is copied by hand but looks to be a good match for the

real error).

I've tried compiling with optimizations off, no effect.
I've rebuilt sed, bison, and flex with optimizations off.
I'm about to try gcc/glibc with optimizations off but I don't really

think that is the problem.

Any help is appreciated.

This looks like the same problem I had. A downlevel of bison 1.75 to 1.35 worked for me, patch and everything.
