Compile problem with CS

[zanz]

I am attempting to get PS server up and running and have run into a snag in compiling the CS libraries.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Here is the log of the errors:

I have followed the compile instructions that came with the source fairly strictly but am now stuck.
The server is running Slackware 10.0

Please help me get past this.

What compiler (version) are You using ?
Are You sure that it is CS revision 24890 ?

Your gcc is probably too old to compile CS compatible with current PS. But there is a hope . I think the following comment refers to this:

22-Jul-2006
        - Oktal fixed the order of some declaration qualifiers in spinlock.h;
          CS_FORCEINLINE must come *before* the method's return type, at least
          on gcc3. This is my first commit by SVN, so I hope it doesn't break.

So, You can make the change, which is mentioned above, yourself. Maybe it will help You.
General recomendation is to use at least gcc 3.4.x.

Awesome, that did indeed fix the problem.  If I run into any more compile problems, I will first try to upgrade my gcc version.  Thanks for the help, I'm really looking forward to getting this engine up and running.  We are planning on attempting to build a new game using the PS engine (have a team of several people with many years of MUD development experience and we want to try to go 3D now).
