I just helped a friend who had the same problem, it happens when you port the
MUD to a different OS and don't delete all the config files.  Delete the
following files...

circle30bpl16/config.*
circle30bpl16/src/Makefile
circle30bpl16/src/conf.h
circle30bpl16/src/*.o
circle30bpl16/src/util/Makefile

Note, if you are porting from Windows you will have to run all your source and
text lib files through a dos2unix filter, you can find such a filter by typing
dos2unix into a search engine.

After all this rerun ./configure and make.

Regards,

Peter
