Got it, thanks. For the address of the author, Fritz Elfert, look in some of the source files; for instance, it's on line 7 of plpftp/ftp.cc. >> >Making all in plpftp >> >make[1]: Entering directory `/home/andre/plptools-0.6/plpftp' >> >g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -I../lib -O2 -Wall -c ftp.cc >> >ftp.cc: In function `int checkAbortHash(long int)': >> >ftp.cc:169: implicit declaration of function `int printf(...)' >> >ftp.cc:169: `stdout' undeclared (first use this function) >> >> Looks like somebody forgot to #include <stdio.h>. > >Which means? It's the author's fault. In C, if you use certain functions or variables, you need to include the appropriate "header files" into your program from the libraries that define them. For printf() et al, you need stdio, the standard input/output library. The author did include this, but only if you have the development readline libraries available; unfortunately this is bogus, because he uses things like printf() and stdout unconditionally. (You probably want to have the development readline libraries installed while compiling this anyway. Install the libreadline4-dev package.) Go to plpftp/ftp.cc line 46, remove that line (which should read '#include <stdio.h>'), and move it up to the topmost block of #include directives. The code then compiles fine - well, there are a few warnings (two-digit years - I can only hope this is just something that the Psion link protocol requires), but nothing fatal.
