Troubleshooting

There are some known problems. Most of them are related to missing parts of a standard X11 distribution. Some others are caused by third party applications such as X servers. To make this list more complete please mail your problems and, if available, solutions to the author. The mail address may be found at the beginning of this chapter. In any case, read X11.

By the way, you MUST HAVE AN ANSI COMPILER to make Pcb work.

Another source of problems are older versions of flex and bison. Pcb definitely works with flex-2.4.7 and bison-1.22 or later. The problems will result in a syntax error while parsing files. This should only be a problem if you have modified the flex or bison input files.

The following list gives you just an idea because I'm not able to test all Pcb releases on all platforms.
