Hi Steven,

This seems to be a bug in some system header files; fmax isn't a 
reserved word, so we should be able to use it, but instead of banging 
your head against it you can just change the 2-3 occurences of fmax in 
xutils.c to fmax_gmx or something. This is already fixed in our CVS sources.

Cheers,

Erik
