My apologies, it's only after I sent my original email to the list, that I entered the original compile error into Google: "opt.h:135: error: array type has incomplete element type" which indeed led me to a Debian page, where some defines were moved around. Did that, by hand, and a minute later I had a new trn compiled. I'm testing it now, and it hasn't crashed yet with the 'glibc memory error <blabla>' messages... *knock-on-wood* Thanks for the response!
