I downloaded netatalk14b2.netbsd.b2.tgz.  I unziped, untared and ran make
(according to the READMEs.)  I am using NetBSD 1.2.1 (GENERIC).  When I run
make I get to the following command:
gcc -Werror -I../../sys/netbds/ -p -DBSD4_4 -02 -I.../.../include -c
asp_close.c

The error I get is:
asp_close.c:27: netatalk/at.h: No such file or directory


Please be gentle.  I am just beginning.  I feel this is a simple path
problem.  I picked up a copy of "Managing Projects with make" and am pawing
through it.  I also don't have a clear picture of what I need to do.

I think I can do that...

I have that...

I downloaded current-970402 (GENERIC-27) and (GENERICSBC-27) but I have yet
to find a readme as to how to install it and the other binaries that came
with it.  As I said, I am just beginning...


Thanks for all your help.
