well, installing the (dec) devtools did the trick... i had just ruled it out because i installed them alongside of OS 10.2, and couldn't imagine that something that seemed so fundamental (like sem.h) would be missing. but, casting my mind back to the hazy days of last november, i seem to remember Norton (yes i know, i was a bit of an idiot to install it in the first place) kakking out on a file, and "sem.h" might very well have been it. even if it wasn't, i like blaming Norton for things, so i'm going to say it was Systemwork's fault. better than blaming myself, that's for sure.
