(This is just my opinion, Pawel and other active members of this ML may 
think of this differently.)

Would you mind upgrading your Linux? You simply may need a newer GCC + 
ton of new tools for Gnokii to compile.

I'd be glad to test that on RH9, but it seems that I discarded my last 
installation media 5 years ago. In case you have an old computer and are 
low on processing power and/or hard disk space, there are excellent 
distros for 486 and low end pentiums, which have the required modern tools.
