Yes, it was very clear but being an absolute beginner as a programmer I was misled by the presence of both stdlib.h and malloc.h in lpslink55.c (in a nutshell, I thought "Why s it complaining if stdlib.h is there, in the code??").
Anyway, thanks to your help I made it in the end. Ciao Vittorio Monday 01 October 2007 20:47:36 Prof Brian Ripley wrote: > Isn't the message rather clear?
