What can I say, but that the code compiled cleanly when it was  
released 18 months ago.  In the meantime, two things happened:

(1) GCC got stricter in its error-checking (e.g., choking on over- 
qualified class members)

(2) Linux changed some of its headers (e.g., now you need to #include  
one or more type headers before #including <linux/joystick.h>)

In any case, the 1.6.x line is no longer maintained, so we're not  
trying to fix these bugs / problems.  Thus I highly recommend that  
you use a more recent version, for example 2.0.3.
