+<PRE>This is a question which should go unanswered as you are provided with all
+the info you need to deduct what's wrong. Let me help you, and everyone else
+quickly.
+
+Briefly gcc 2.96 is an unofficial release of the gcc compiler and
+ircservices does not work on it. To get them to work either upgrade to gcc
+3.x or downgrade to 2.95.3.
+
+There is a work around though. Though I really do recommend that you upgrade
+or downgrade your compiler because if you follow the workaround we will
+*not* help you with any problems you may experience.
+
+Okay so now you have the latest version under your belt. You have done
+./configure and you are given this message:
+
+*** WHOA THERE! ***
+
+Your system seems to have gcc 2.96 installed.
+This is an unofficial release of the GCC compiler which
+contains serious bugs and cannot compile Services correctly.
+
+Please upgrade GCC to a newer version, or downgrade to
+version 2.95.3, before compiling Services.
+
+See question B.1 in the FAQ for details.
+
+
+To save you the time of checking up in the FAQ, read below.
+
+B.1. When I run "make", I get an error message like "missing separator",
+ "Need an operator", "Unexpected end of line seen", etc.
+
+ Your make program isn't compatible with the Makefile for Services.
+ The Makefile was designed to work with GNU make, and as such may
+ not work on other systems' "make" programs. If you get an error
+ from "make", obtain GNU make from <A HREF="ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/">ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/</A>
+ (or wherever you prefer) and use it instead of your system's
+ default "make". Note that GNU make may already be installed on
+ your system; try using the command "gmake" instead of "make".
+
+ The make programs bundled with SunOS/Solaris and FreeBSD have been
+ reported not to work; you will need to use GNU make on these
+ systems.
+
+
+Right now that you know what you're getting yourself into, lets make
+services work with gcc 2.96. Remember that if you do this we will not
+provide any assistance to you.
+
+Run the ./configure script with the following suffix:
+
+./configure -force-gcc-2.96
+
+This will bypass the gcc 2.96 check and you can carry on with setting up
+your services. Again this is not recommended and is unsupported, though I do
+wish you luck.
+
+Dylan.
