Well, I have the libc5 stuff in my path and MT sees it just fine. But it
still complains about the missing libvga and libvgagl even when I try
running it in X.

It's that fleshy stuff that surrounds our glowing personalities... :)

I doubt even Saint Richard could raise the dead. I'd contact Bill Gates,
he seems to be able to do it with each release of Windows...(!)
Anyway, I sent a cover letter to three of BN's former professors,
perhaps one of them will help us locate the mystery man.
Meanwhile I tried building the sources for MT 1.06b but I hit the wall
with this error:
gcc -Wall -O2 -mpentium -fomit-frame-pointer -c callback.c -o
callback.o
In file included from callback.c:30:
multitrack.h:180: parse error before `pid_play'
multitrack.h:180: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of
`pid_play'
multitrack.h:180: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of
`pid_record'
multitrack.h:180: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
make: *** [callback.o] Error 1
The offending code looks like this:
#include <unistd.h> /* for pid_t */
/* Global definitions for tracks */
extern Track_info *info;
extern pid_t pid_play, pid_record;
extern Track *track;
extern short int *bigbuf;
extern Buffer_info *bigbuf_info;
extern Screen screen[nr_tracks];
extern long track_begin, track_end, track_length;
Can anyone tell me what's happening there ?
