I need some more help please..
I have run Configure and it seems to work fine, and then goes back to the
prompt. Then I ran "make" , it compiles a whole lot of files and the when it
gets to pp_sys.c, it seems to stop and give errors. I have tried extracting
this file from the original archive and installing it, but I seem to get the
same error. Herewith is the output I get from the command : -

- I have been through the documentation but the errors mentioned don't match
up. I removed the '-02' variable from the optimise command in config.sh as
suggested in notes, and then recompiled, but still get the same error.
I dont understand what they mean by the error command "dereferencing
pointer to incomplete type".
What is wrong ?

Thank you
