Btw, love the machine name .

Wasn't sure if my being a different user I had access issues to certain libraries or not, so I wanted to compile as 'root'. Yeah, beware the Sys-Admin with a screw driver.

ok - I installed X11 libraries and ncurses just to be safe. Not sure if it was absolutely necessary, but I did. For those that may come after me, compiling/installing in Linux:

yum install ncurses-devel
yum install libXt-devel

(If you are a Debian user, you'll use replace "yum" with "apt-get" above.

Then run ./configure --enable-x11 and angband will compile without that ISO C error & warning. And, best of all, no seg fault when you try to run it.

'Bux.
- thanks for the compliment on the machine name.
