	I'm trying to compile DKB the public domain ray-tracer on Unix.
During compilation I get a series of "illegal pointer combination" warnings
While it seems to compile all right, when I run the program I get a
"cannot open output file" error and the program dies.  I dont know what the
illegal pointer combinations refer to, but some of the warnings refer to
file-handle and file manipulations in the program (which is why I think 
these warnings have something to do with the run time error).  HELP!
If you have used the program or ported it to Unix successfully, please
e-mail me, and let me know how you did it.  If you know how to get rid of
the warnings or get DKB to run properly, please let me know.
	I'm using version 2.11 of DKB. I linked the libm.a and libmV.a librariesduring compilation, and I want the program to output to "raw" or 24-bit Targa 
format.
