OK. Move the structure definitions to above the externs. (I have no idea why they're declaring externs before even having the structure around...)

Even if this doesn't fix your problem, it's much better to have it that way.

This looks an awful lot like: http://forums.mudplanet.net/index.php?a=topic&t=991

The explanation has already been done to death, but the link should be all the solution you need.

Wait ...One last quick question/problem. Looks like it's masking the pfile's passwords now. So as I compiled the mud, and booted her up. The original pfiles passwords don't work now. So I created a new character with the password 12345. Saved it and logged off, looked at the pfile and it masked the pword Ksfdh.Jry. How do I fix this so all my original pfiles passwords work correctly?

That shouldn't be masking, it's encrypting. Does the password not work after you create a new char, and relog?

The 12345 password works just fine... but my character nor anyone' elses existing pfile characters work. It asks for our password, and I put it in, and it states "wrong password" even though we know its the right one. I imagine it has something to do with the new compile??

So existing characters don't work, but new characters do?

How was this MUD transferred? From one server to another?

What's probably happening is that it reads in old characters as having encrypted passwords, and then writes them back out with encryption, which is why they get messed up. Depending on how many pfiles you have, you could manually set the passwords to the correct encrypted versions; I think you can get the encrypted version of a password with a built-in game command, but that might be SMAUG-only.

Old characters dont work, new characters I make do. The old characters passwords show up normal in the pfiles themselves but when I make a new character it encrypts the passwords. Sooooo it looks like its using the original passwords to the old characters as encryptions so the pwords are ALL different to 100+ pfiles.

Sounds like passwords weren't encrypted before this. The fix you made so it would compile shouldn't have changed it to encrypt passwords.

Oh and yes it was transfered from one server to another. Sorry about that, just noticed the second question.

In the original makefile before I added -lcrypt it had this:

.c.o: merc.h
$(CC) -c $(C_FLAGS) -Dunix -DNOCRYPT $<

And I removed -Dunix -DNOCRYPT to make it look like this:

.c.o: merc.h
$(CC) -c $(C_FLAGS) $<

Is that what happened?

Yes, crypt is to encrypt passwords. Did you add that because it wasn't compiling?

Ohhh no... earlier today before I found this forum I was reading old forums with similar questions and it told me I needed to add -lcrypt to my linker line in order for the makefile to compile under linux. So it should work without the -lcrypt?

Yes, it should work without the crypt library. I'm a little surprised that not having crypt would break something. Well, in any case, it's generally better to have the passwords crypted; see my previous post for a quick discussion how.
