Hi David,

Looks like some success has been had, although other problems now seem 
evident.  Removal of the 02 flag from the Makefile brings about the following 
printout from make:

Also, I found the other program details you asked me about.  They are:

# # # # # # # # which gcc  
/usr/bin/gcc 
# # # # # # # # which ld 
/usr/bin/ld 
# # # # # # # # gcc -v 
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs 
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-108.7.2) 
# # # # # # # # ld -v 
GNU ld version 2.10.91 (with BFD 2.10.91.0.2) 
# # # # # # # # uname -a 
Linux ensim.xxxx.us 2.4.9-34 #1 Sat Jun 1 06:25:16 EDT 2002 i686 unknown 

Do you have any further suggestions for how the 'incompatible pointer type' 
errors can be overcome ?

Cheers,

Andrew
