The 3.5.1-beta3 release was made to fix someone's problem.  Apparently,
the release isn't quite up-to-snuff for other platforms.  We'll have to
work on that.  Thanks for reporting this.

We think you have two options:

    1.  Recreate the file ncgen/ncgenyy.c:

        1.  Go into the ncgen/ subdirectory.

        2.  Remove the file ncgenyy.c.

        3.  Execute the command "make ncgenyy.c".  If the command fails,
            then try option #2.

        4.  Go to the top-level source directory and follow the
            instructions near the end of the file INSTALL.html on
            building the package.

    2.  Try the 3.5.0 distribution.
