[Plib-users] (newbie) Compile errors when installing PLIB examples + documentation.

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

It seems that I have managed to install PLIB successfully, because although 
the terminal displayed strange information, all the files had been installed 
in their correct locations.

But now, when installing the PLIB examples + documentation package, I get 
problems.

Calling ./configure

Something seemed to go wrong in the middle of the procedure, but it still 
continued to the end. Peculiar. Anyway, now calling make:

I don't know if I did something wrong or if it's the source, but it looks 
like there are some errors in the source code. I don't know... As always, my 
platform is MacMini G4 SD with MacOS X 10.4.6.

So, will I have to edit the source files by hand (again!) or is there an 
easier way?
