First, I like to thank all of you
for your help with the conversion problem.
Thanks! It working fine now.
My new problem is on Linux.
When compiling a C program with this:

gcc -Wall -W -o thisprog thisprog.c

I get a linking error that says:

gcc:Internal compiler error:
program ld got fatal signal 8

I'm using an old computer with kernel 2.0.35
but it should work. The compute runs fine.
What does 'fatal signal 8 ' mean?
Or where can I find out for myself?

It was the computer! I compiled
the same source code using the same
compiler etc. and it worked fine on
a different computer.
Now I just have to find out what's
wrong with the computer. I think
its the hard drive. It makes grindy
noises.

Ouch, I hate when the hard drive sounds funny, and you get alot of strange error messages

hm .. maybe better check the kernel ...
