I have a couple of fixes that allow me to compile argus-3.0.0.rc.24 and argus-clients-3.0.0.rc.24 on Mac OS X 10.4.4

Hey Dez,
Not sure why the list isn't working, did you send a message to
the list owner?   Hey Mark, are you guys not using majordomo any
longer?

OK, so I develop argus almost exclusively on Mac OS X  10.4.7,
so I'm surprised that you are having problems on 10.4.4.   Have
you updated to the latest in gcc, etc.....?   I think that will make
a big difference.

The problems you are seeing can be corrected, but we can't suggest
modifying the system includes, as that could break something else,
unrelated to argus, but I can try to un-define at the right point in our
include's if the system includes already are defining the "defines".
English is a great language ;o)

Do me a favor, what is the output when you run this program
in the clients distribution?

    ./config/config.guess

possibly I can differentiate between the versions in the configure  
script?

Carter
