Could you cut and paste the warnings, it should compile under Redhat 5.2
without any warnings, with the fixes it should also compile cleanly under
Redhat 6.0(please don't paste all 417 warnings here, just the first dozen
or so).

rjc-8(which has the Dispatcher.c++ stuff fixed) should be posted very
soon(as soon as Darren reads his email ;-).

I do not currently have access to a Redhat 6 machine, but the problems so
far reported have not being too hard to fix - i have a patch which i will
put into the cvs soon which removes the fds_bits stuff from the general
code.  I have not yet seen any other definite problems that should stop it
compiling under a glibc-2.1 machine.
