I'm using gcc-3.3.4 here

I don't think this is related to gcc, but your header files. system.c 
includes if_ppp.h, which triggers this error. Maybe one needs to inclode 
some other header before if_ppp.... If you take a look at the 
crc-ccitt.h file, at line 6, what is there "before const"? Next, try 
where this symbol gets defined, and try to include this file manually.

btw, you could and should try the CVS version of lcd4linux. The code is 
stable, it just lacks documentation...


bye, Michael
