New user encountering problems

[Brent Harding]

Oh, some program I was trying to compile that had an error in comm.c,
something with getpeername and other stuff like that, it appears as there's
more than one thing and it doesn't know which to use, and I'm not much in
to coding, so these error functions really don't mean much. Also, certain
things expect different locations for stuff, and it takes a lot of coding
to change it, as debian wants stuff in different places than most
distributions.
