thanks for the advice,

Compiling the NLP module with highlevel code enabled like so:
mmc -EcH --no-line-numbers skaNLP

and including mercury.h instead, seemed to yield 'better errors' since I now 
get the same errors no matter which order I put the #includes which i guess 
is a good thing! However, I have no clue of how to solve them. (compiling 
using make and g++)

In file included from skaMain.cc:3:
skaNLP.h:30: `MR_Word' was not declared in this scope
skaNLP.h:30: parse error before `,'
skaNLP.h:36: syntax error before `;'
...etc

I also get similar errors from skaMain.cc since it does not know of MR_Word 
either.

Is there an extra file I need to include somewhere?



If I try the other approach, ie using mmake (with g++) passing the 
-DMERCURY_NO_BOOTSTRAP_H option, and also using the highlevel code flag, 
running mmake depend, followed by mmake yields many errors of the following 
types:


bash-2.05$ mmake
rm -f skaNLP.c
mmc --compile-to-c --high-level-code         skaNLP.m > skaNLP.err 2>&1
MERCURY_C_COMPILER=g++ mgnuc --high-level-code     -g        -c skaNLP.c -o 
skaNLP.o
skaNLP.c:38: uninitialized const 
`skaNLP__skaNLP__enum_name_ordered_v_type_0'
skaNLP.m:221: redefinition of `const struct MR_EnumFunctorDesc *const 
skaNLP__skaNLP__enum_name_ordered_v_type_0[2]'
skaNLP.m:247: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in 
initialization
..etc

Much of this is way over my head, and I'm going round in circles reading the 
documentation, so any tips would be great.
thanks,
Andy

Attached my Mmakefile incase you'd like to see it.
