I think what's going on is, like everything else (me included), it gets old and outdated. When it did compile, I was using an older distro of my Mandriva, which used an older version of gcc (I think it was a 3x version). I since lost that server, and started up a newer Mandriva, that uses 4x version of gcc.
I had the same problem compiling the source, would not compile on Mandriva 2007, but would on older distros. It does now, but I forgot how the hell I did that too.
There was a trick i could do with gcc; I would install older versions of gcc, and just keep the executables or links in the same place. I could rename whatever one I needed with the working version.
