thanks - that helped to compile and install.

But then (for some stupid reason like 'now let's do it all over again'),
i did a 'make uninstall' and tried to - well - do it all over again
(and because the update to Max OS 10.2.2 seems to force recompiling emacs):

check out src from cvs, edit cc-vars.el, configure, make bootstrap

and this time, it dies with:

--->
...

did 'make uninstall' break something critical? or did a new error creep into cvs
over the night?

i tried - but the archives at http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/emacs-devel/ didn't
really help - and subscribing to a devel-list seems not to appropriate for
one-time problems like these. I thougth, that's what usenet is for.
