    This is what the compiler says (when trying to 'make' the ax25 utils):

        make[1]: Entering directory `/etc/ax25-utils-2.1.42a/apps'
        gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -I/usr/include/ncurses -I../lib -c call.c
        call.c:1452: warning: `#ifdef' argument starts with a digit
        call.c: In function `connect_to':
        call.c:220: `SOL_AX25' undeclared (first use in this function)
        call.c:220: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
        call.c:220: for each function it appears in.)
        call.c: In function `dupdstatw':

        make[1]: *** [call.o] Error 1

        make: *** [all] Error 2
        [root@zl2bsj ax25-utils-2.1.42a]#

    Ncurses is installed, in the proper spot.
    I tracked down a copy of Xforms (tnx KE6DWM!) but RPM won't install
    it (I won't bore you with details at this stage...).
    Thomas reckons that's not the cause of the problem, so I have left it
    for the moment.

    It looks to me as if some header file hasn't been included. Any pointers
    most welcome...I am well and truly stuck...

    I am starting to wonder wether I do in fact need the ax25 utils. The
    AX25 HOWTO says yes, but I see a lot of people are only installing
    libax25, ax25-apps and ax25-tools (all of which compile and install OK).
