There is a mention of fixing the random problem in another post on this forum (a little way down) - see ROM server with cygnus

$ make
gcc -c -Wall -O -g db.c
db.c:68: conflicting types for `srandom'
/usr/include/stdlib.h:156: previous declaration of `srandom'

Which version of ROM are you compiling? Are you using Cygwin? I compiled the version from this site OK with the suggested changes, and had no problems.

To fix the "crypt" problem with your earlier compile use the "-DNOCRYPT" that you have on the later one (in the file "makefile").

For GhostMUD join the yahoo groups. both the cygwin and parse errors during compile have been covered.

Also feel free to take me up on the offer i made in the ghost package and email me with issues. I am always happy to help though it may take a day or two sometimes as i can not always check email constantly.

Thanks
