Well, I also downloaded mprime.tar.gz, and I had a slightly different
problem trying to connect to the PrimeNet server. To summarize:
mprime.tar.gz v19.0.2: results in "ERROR: Primenet error 1"
sprime.tar.gz v19.0.2: results in "Error 2250: Server unavailable"
mprime.tar.gz v18.1.2: No problems.
I wonder why the two versions give different error messages (and why I'm
getting them at all)? Anyway, I just compiled mprime from source
(debugging not enabled), and it's working just fine. Except for the fact
that I will not receive credit for my work, since I compiled it myself...
so much for initiative. :-)

experiencing this behavior.)
