compiling ORBit

[foofboy foofnet dyn ml org]

Never have been able to get darn ORBit to compile. Checking bug tracker shows me I'm not the only one with this problem, but I dunno what to do with a parse error . I've checked, and I think I have the right compilers installed..

Debian 2.1 System, on an Pentium.
Kernel 2.0.35
gcc 2.7.2.3
g++ 2.90.29
