Not any more because finally it started to work. I had to convert all my source files to UTF-8 and it works now. Earlier I only converted
one of those into various notational flavors and kept getting the messages. Now that everything is UTF-8, it works all right.

Sorry for the false alarm and thank you for your help.

By the way, if I could suggest one thing: if the compiler would return both a line and column numbers instead of just a line number
with the error messages (I know that this can be pretty hard sometimes, I wrote compilers myself and know the problems associated
with parsing and error reporting), that could have pinpointed my problem earlier, pointing right to the offending accented letter.

Thanks,
  Gábor
