Ok I have had the impression from the error messages that my
includes directory was possibly a bit messed up. Doing it
the hard way I used `rm -rf /usr/include/' and tried
compiling plex again. Every time it ran across a missing
header file, I used `rpm -qf /usr/include/name' to find it's
owner and reinstalled the pagage using "rpm -U --force
--nodeps packagename' from the original installation disks.

Still I get the mysterious error message complaining about
an incomplete type:

In file included from fkoverwritedlg.cpp:28:
fkoperations.h:116: field `m_pathList' has incomplete type
fkoperations.h:181: field `m_sourceList' has incomplete type

So it must be a problem with the distribution (RedHat 8.0
`Psyche' in this case.) The problem is eminent and every
help fixing it (I would even appreciate when someone zipped
up his/her /usr/includes/ and sends it my way for a nifty
diff...)

I think it was already said here a few weeks (months?)
ago, but it's really true. Both the CVS version and the
last source packages are creating the following error
messages when make'ing plex:

In file included from /usr/include/linux/sched.h:14,
                 from /usr/include/linux/mm.h:4,
                 from host-linux.c:31:
/usr/include/linux/timex.h:173: field `time' has
incomplete type
/usr/include/linux/timex.h:188: confused by earlier
errors, bailing out
make[1]: *** [host-linux.o] Fehler 1

I have checked this file timex.h, it's present and at
line 188 there is the following inside a struct:

        struct timeval time;    /* (read only) */

I do not sense an error here but then I'm a pascal
freak and windows weenie.

Can anyone please help?
