We cannot make any guarentees that the software we accumulate will work
on someone else's system. We compile and test all software on our system
prior to addition to the archives directory, with the exception of that
donated by other users, where we must assume the other individual has
done the compilation and testing, since 9 times out of 10 it is the
author of the software making the donation.

Your original post indicated that you had difficulty compiling the program;
which we can not reproduce here with our "standard" configuration either.
Hence, there must be a difference between the two releases on our respective
machines.

We try to compile everything w/ both compilers; although we use the GCC
compiler for all in-house binaries.
