This is on a new install of Ubuntu 6.06 with gcc and sharutils installed. It looks like the first set of errors are commented out in the file "tolower", why they parse is beyond me. Any ideas?

Looks like your system is lacking header files. I can't verify right now, but with Ubuntu I think the package is build-essential. So <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">apt-get install build-essentialshould solve it for you

Converting OFP directory:

597 file-names were converted

WHA!! You're genius!!

Thanks Hitman!

One last run with OFP coop missions until next month!!

So for anyone w/ Ubuntu install 3 things first (gcc, sharutils-for uudecode-, and build-essential)
