Your particular version of GCC is less tolerant than mine! In 
lib/common/UnixUser.cpp, edit the line which reads

void UnixUser::ChangeProcessUser(bool Temporary = false)

to

void UnixUser::ChangeProcessUser(bool Temporary)

This is of course, an error on my part. I have changed it for the next 
version, but this sorts things out for this version.


I've found getting things to work on Linux a bit of an experience. I've 
been writing for OpenBSD only for much of the project, and then when I 
decided to open source it, I then had to get it to work on other 
platforms. The infinite varieties of Linux have been entertaining.

Thanks for trying it out -- I look forward to hearing about your 
experiences.
