Brian,

I think the problem is your compiler flag -traditional. Here's what to do:

% make distclean   in src dir of decoders-2.4.4
% setenv CC gcc
% (./configure & make all test install clean) >&! log &    Note changes
% tail -f log

Let me know how this works out.

Robb...

ps log info stuff really helps out in debugging problems
