I tried to change the keyboard ID to 24 according to Claus, as well as a
couple of other things in the molrc file (such as using oftree.nw with my
new world rom). I also tried separately to pass the correct System map to
startmol as was suggested. None of these modifications worked. As a
result, I decided to try to rebuild mol. Unfortunately, I had a fatal
problem here, as well. I downloaded the mol-0.9.50 src rpm (the version
I'm currently using) and attempted to perform an 'rpm --rebuild' with it.
It ran for several minutes and seemed to be running fine except for saying
that some modification dates were in the future and the build might be
'incomplete'. Finally, it got to this:
ld -r -o scsi.o obj/scsi_main.o obj/53c94.o obj/mesh.o obj/scsi-bus.o
obj/scsi-unit.o obj/osi_scsi.o obj/osi_blk.o obj/long_lseek.o
obj/partition.o obj/disk_open.o

It appears that the installer wants to run bison, which I have not
installed. Am I reading this correctly? Do I just need to install bison?
Or is it something else?
Thanks,
Bob
