It would be a little helpful to see the lines in question so we can figure out what is going on. But, one likely culprit is that you are running on a 64-bit system, and none of the SMAUG devs tested on it; so, they didn't code 64-bit-safe code.

Could you please give:
- the value of BERR (it should be in mud.h somewhere)
- the return value of check_playing, and the type of 'chk' (from line 1921)
- the compiler you are using (name and version)

Looks like this probably isn't a 64-bit issue after all.

Those are just warnings. The compiler shouldn't stop for those. I know I get those same warnings for different things, and mine compiles fine.

I already said it probably wasn't 64-bit, and also gave you a list of things to provide so that we could help you. :)

In that case, the differences between 1.7 and 1.8 are pretty big.

Yes, that's the way to unpack a tgz archive.
