Since lsv_amin categorically did not change between releases (lsv_amin.c is from 1995 and lsv_amin.h is from 1994), I have no idea why you would be having this problem unless it's due to some difference between the precompiled version and a version recompiled from scratch. It will not hurt anything to continue to use the lsv_amin you had from 1.8c as it is compiled from identical code. If you were using the precompiled lsv_amin that shipped with 1.8d you could try recompiling it from scratch of course, or vice versa. Nathan
