Jeff, The warning you're getting is due to the fact that the source code is not compliant with the latest ANSI standard for C++. Bascially, with the new standard, standard C++ headers no longer have the ".h" extension. For example, the old "iostream.h" is now "iostream". However, the old headers are supported for the time being for backward compatibility; they just generate the warning you are seeing below. This warning is not the cause of your problem, however. The problem is that the C++ runtime library is not in one of the standard system directories, so when you run the program it is not able to find it. What you need to do is to add the directory containing libstdc++.so.5 to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable before running the program. For example, if that library is in /usr/local/lib, then you would do something like this: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH Or, you could change your Makefile so that this path gets embedded in the executable (which is probably preferable) by adding the following argument to the LD_FLAGS variable: -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib If it complains about that, then try -R/usr/local/lib Of course, you need to replace /usr/local/lib with the correct directory for your installation.

I believe that it has version 3.2 of c++, and version 3.2 of gcc. There is a Makefile bundled with the program. When I run "make" I get the following error messages: gruen@/home/gruen/Applications/transmit-2.5.4% make g++ -c -DVERSION="\"2.5.4, Aug 2002\"" -DSEED=srand48 transmit.C In file included from /usr/local/include/c++/3.2/backward/iostream.h:31, from transmit.C:5: /usr/local/include/c++/3.2/backward/backward_warning.h:32:2: warning: #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header. Please consider using one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the C++ standard. Examples include substituting the <X> header for the <X.h> header for C++ includes, or <sstream> instead of the deprecated header <strstream.h>. To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated.
