---- etc.
This has been covered here before.  Either you can delete the statement 
"-Werror" from the Makefile in extra/expr~ or you can edit vexp.c & 
vexp_if.c and change every instance of "exp-" to "exp2-", "exp)" to 
"exp2)" and "exp," to "exp2,".  The latter is what I do, because one day 
you may need that -Werror flag.  ;)

Also you may find you need to change x_misc.c in src to have the line 
"#include <unistd.h>" in order for the compile to work.

Also, I have discovered that running ./configure with the --enable-alsa 
flag actually causes alsa to be DISabled; in order to make sure alsa 
support is built, leave that flag off!  You may want to add the flag 
"--enable-jack".

Hope this helps, someone fix this please; name conflicts in C are scary 
and dangerous.
