Okay, I have the same problem Grant has.  It is probably related to Alsa.  I 
modified the motif _p source file to include sys/errno.h.  The later errors 
are as follows:

alsa_a.cpp: In function `int set_playback_info(void *, uint32 *, uint32 *, 
const long int *)':
alsa_a.cpp:287: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in 
argument passing
alsa_a.cpp:429: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in 
argument passing
alsa_a.cpp:435: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in 
argument passing
alsa_a.cpp:451: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in 
argument passing
alsa_a.cpp:459: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in 
argument passing
alsa_a.cpp:469: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in 
argument passing
make[3]: *** [alsa_a.o] Error 1

I'm an RPG programmer on the AS400.  I can pursue this further, but I am 
hoping someone else may know what the problem is.
