I have no idea what this mean...

It means that whoever created the tarball didn't test it before he uploaded it. The actual error means that the function sprintf wasn't declared before it was used, meaning that default types were used for things like return type. Since the Makefile has "-Werror" the compilation stops. You could solve it pu putting "#include " at the top of that file, or you could download a later version where the "bug" is fixed (I checked version 1.28, it compiles cleanly). regards Anders -- 'Deserves [death].
