Is it possible that the archive doesn't have the latest?

I tried fixing the include files etc. but still got errors:

I did try 64 and 128x. In X they all can show up with the "tiny" font :)

No it worked fine, but appeared not to update the top correctly while
number of processors was increasing. I just tried it again to double
check on that, and turned out that top errors out while offlining
processors (top: failed /proc/stat read), and still works while onlining
but shows their number decreasing instead of growing :) Maybe I don't
have the latest top (although running on SLES10?).
