thanks Valeriy,

Thats the spot where it fails yes. Thanks for having a look
at it. Have a look in tech-pkg for todays mail. A couple of
guys have responded to this with some info. And along the
lines of what you said about gcc etc.
I have not responded to them yet as I am still mucking about
with it also. I have made a couple of hacks to the makefile in
avcalls directory.
Basically took out the test that fails as I thought uniq may not
be working correctly with -u switch. It then went on and compiled
alot more , but then promptly core dumped in the next directory
that it went to build in.

cheers,
Paul.
