1.3.XX compile problems

[Joe Kirby <kirby@shellie.rmt.utk.edu>]

I installed 1.3.57 and everything compiled good the first time. I decided 
to move some stuff to modules so I ran 'make config' again. The second 
compile ended with an error, as have all subsequent attempts. I retrieved 
1.3.59 from sunsite with hopes it might make a difference. The error is 
identical. A screen snapshot is below. Any instruction will be appreciated.
