I removed the /usr/include from 'CPPFLAGS' and got the same results
upon compiling. It seems as if there is some
incompatibility/outdatedness with the obsd includes. I say this
because I had installed the same configuration as above on a Slack8
linux box with no problems, but on slack7 there seems to be similar
compile time issues.
