Thanks for the response Christian. I updated the gcc related packages to 3.2.3-42 overnight and have compiled it successfully today.
However ... I think I was actually losing my mind yesterday, as I was trying to compile it while juggling a number of other things. I did modify the Makefile.config, but it looks as though the only things that didn't compile were the GUI parts and I don't need those as I run the machines command line only. Sorry to bother you and the list with a non problem! I do have one query remaining. In the compile I get this message a lot: "mainmodule.c:396: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size" Is that likely to cause me problems at all? Regards, Andy.

When you have compile problems on Linux, it is usually due to system headers which have moved or changed their content. The problem is usually easy to fix if you grep for the missing definition in /usr/include. And you have edited Sharity's Makefile.config to enable the definitions for Linux, have you?
