I did do that, and it seems that the compilation is proceeding now....

...

It did proceed further, but it failed with a different error now:

Well, the other thing Peter suggested to me was this:

in version.c, make this change:

char *version_string = "2.8.0"

or 2.8.1, depending on what you're using. This took away all my problems with the rts files. Of course, bear in mind that I don't actually know what's going on, and these are just a couple things that kludged my system into working.

I changed it to indicate 2.8.1 which is the gcc I'm using. And I got a different error now... This is the output, if anyone is interested :)

Thanks again for all the hints
