    And that wiki page was (originally) written for:
    Linux raspberrypi 4.4.21-v7+ #911 SMP Thu Sep 15 14:22:38 BST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linu

    So you might have better luck with a different or older OS.

    Thanks Digital Man, I got it fixed with the OS I showed, no need to
    downgrade. I wanted to get it compiled and play around with a USR Modem
    I got and I got sexpots working with it too.

    I thought sexpots had issues with ZModem but thanks to a previous reply
    from you I found out that it was the terminal I was using, I tested with
    Sync Term and it did work downloading from a Mystic system. I bring this
    up because I want to move from a VM to the RPI, setup an alternate
    system with synchronet, running some doors and play with POTS line.

    My concern is will the SD card eventually burn out and di by using what
    I described?.

    Regards.

    Oh, cool. What was the solution?

    Did you follow step 4?

    You may have to use

    make -f install-sbbs.mk SYMLINK=1 JSINCLUDE=/usr/include/js JSLIB=mozjs185 to compile it.

    Sorry for the late reply, I did several things before it actually
    compiled correctly.

    - I installed libmozjs 1.70 (forgive the naming mix up)
    - I downloaded older pre-compiled gcc g++ binaries, put them on /opt and
    set env variables and it ended up compiling OK, although when I do sbbs version I see GCC 11 (I think) so not sure I just did some reading and
    tried different things, so it might have been one or a combination.

    Sorry I cannot be much more technical I am in no way a linux or devel
    expert.

    Cheers
