I installed that last night just after my original mail, but I get the
same errors :-(  This means obviously that it is not the compiler. 
This is the make output when I try to compile mpeg_play from
unix.hensa.ac.uk;

[snip (can't get the scroll back, but everything compiles clean except

main.c: In function `main':
main.c:376: warning: passing arg 2 of `signal' from incompatible
pointer type
main.c:217: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'
