Hi,

The error in parasail complains that some structure doesn't have a
`saturated` property. However, the libssw repository you linked to
doesn't contain that word either. Thus, the version you deleted has some
crucial changes, I guess. There are a few ways you could go.

1) Judging from the name of the erroneous file `tests/test_openmp.c`, it
is "just a test". Can you build parasail without?

2) Build with the shipped copy of libssw.

3) Port the changes to the true libssw without breaking many other programs.

If you still wanted to update libssw to 1.24, I would recommend the
following steps:  Clone the git repo. Write all changes to a file (git
diff v1.1..master > huge.patch). Apply the patch using standard debian
procedures.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Duly noted. 
I think it would make sense to talk to upstream about it, and ask them the real source of the file, since 
it appears that the copy used is modified by libssw's author and is forked from somewhere.
Maybe mailing them makes sense.

In any case, thanks a lot to help, :-)

Regards, Nilesh
