This appears to be my problem: the makefile specifies g++ (CC=c++) for the complier, which is not the same as gcc. I guess I'm only set up to use gcc in terms of the libraries. When I edited the Makefile (CC = gcc), the program compiled, although it complained with a bunch of warnings. I don't know enough about the two compilers to know if the flags are the same between the two. All I know is that I was able to compile kernel 2.2.5 with the included makefiles (at least I think the kernel is OK). Can I have both compilers set up at the same time? If not, which one should I use? I'm curious to learn about all the development tools etc. that Linux has to offer. But, right now I just want to have a system I can use so I don't have to boot intoWindows 95 all the time for "real work". I'm not against compiling stuff, but if I I have to chase down things like this all the time just to build simple packages, then Linux will just be a toy for me, alas.
