I just got the source package for 1.3.100 as I wanted to work with more
recent sound drivers. I went through the usual steps and everything went
fine up to the VERY end of the compilation process and then I got some
errors. Probably someone will have a very simple explanation, I would
very much appreciate the help. I have attached the last of the output
from the compilation.
