Please use the [code] tag when posting so many lines of code. Not having the lines formatted correctly makes them irritating to read. And please post the compiler output, also using the [code] tag, so that we can know exactly what the compiler is saying -- and then use comments in the code to indicate which line is which. (Don't post the code again, just edit your previous posts)

Look at this code:

	for ( iClass = 0; iClass < MAX_PC_CLASS; iClass++ )
	{
	  if ( class_table[iClass]->who_name &&
	       class_table[iClass]->who_name[0] != '\0' && !class_table[iClass]->remort_class)

	    {
		ch->class =  iClass;
		break;
	    }
	  }
	}
Looks like you have one brace too many.

This kind of problem is very easy to find if code is indented properly. If you're using vi, go to the top of the function and type =a{. That means format the current block of code.

It will then be immediately apparent where the braces are missing.

You can also put the cursor over a brace, and press % to jump to the matching brace. If you do that and find yourself somewhere you didn't expect, then you have too many/too few braces.

The probable cause of that is because your pager isn't parsing. Try replacing the batteries.

You have probably added a brace too many. This example program will generate that error:


#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
  {
  printf ("hello, world\n");
  return 0;

  {  // <--- this shouldn't be here

  }


This generates:


test.c: In function `main':
test.c:11: parse error at end of input


You want an editor (vi is an example) that will match braces, so you can see which function has a brace too many.

The batteries part was a joke.

For the braces, did you try using the auto-indent? Or using '%' to match braces? What editor are you using?

For damage in combat: why don't we fix one thing at a time? :)

The '%' command only works when you have your cursor over a brace.

Also, Nick suggested using vi's bracket highlighting feature. This is a very good idea. To enable this you might have to type the command ":syntax enable". It should then start highlighting mismatched braces.

I'm not sure how else to solve your problem, really. Basically you have to go find which brace doesn't have a matching brace. It's probably going to be in code you added.
