I ran into the same problem. ./compile -h now states that compile looks
for one configuration file:
Pending queue manipulation tool.
Usage: ./compile [OPTIONS]
Where:
-c <file>
--config-file <file>
Specify a different configuration file other than ~/.tmda/config.

Yes, that's what I did, too, at first.

I had this same problem earlier this week. Make sure the partition
tmda-cgi is on will allow suid calls. For example, my OpenBSD install
automatically installs the /var partition as nosuid.
Removing nosuid from the /var line of /etc/fstab solved the problem for
me.

Hope that helps.
