Compiler verson:
$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)

Damn, is it because of 2.96?

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma)

I added it and dir compiled fine. But then another error came right
afterwards:
