I took another look at this, this morning.

It works fine on a Ubuntu 6.06 machine,
makegeo.c:24: warning: return type of ‘main’ is not ‘int’
makegeo.c: In function ‘WriteImage’:

But fails on 6.10, no matter what compiler I use, so my assumption is  
that its the linker.

So, not being a developer/expert in this area, my gut tells me to  
chuck it and start with 6.06 again... any suggestions (while I get  
coffee :))?
