I am in no way an advanced programmer but I can tell you it doesn't  
build in OSX using gcc3.3 or gcc4.0.

The failures are resulting from syntax issues in header and source  
files from what I interpret as sloppy coding to get the job done.

While Tobi has made great leaps in the progression of this project,  
it still has some issues.

I was interested in participating in the project by providing an  
additional subproject for using RRDTool (see: http:// 
www.daleenterprise.com/info.php and http://www.daleenterprise.com/ 
rrdtool_info.php) but because I've had so many issues with getting it  
to build I've temporarily shelved the project waiting for the main  
code to get straightened out (which is slowly happening) and continue  
to work on the project using an older version until I can move up to  
the newer one.

Now, If I select an older version of gcc3.1 (gcc_select 3.1) I can  
build the project but it still complains about syntax issues, it just  
ignores them and continues where in gcc3.3 or gcc4.0 it isn't as  
forgiving.

If you take the time to poke around, you might find that the problems  
are definition issues in the .h files.  From there you might start  
poking around in config.h and find that there are some things that  
are incorrectly ifdef'd for your  OS, which considering the source  
code, the author probably doesn't have or doesn't use primarily as  
the code looks heavily MSVC influenced.
