You cannot fix errors by simply commenting oyt the lines that cause
them, all you will end up doing is loosing the functionality that those
lines of code is supposed to give you (maybe one of them is supposed to
free up some memory?).

Often times you loose more than just a "feature".

Are you trying to compile the program as a C++ program? CircleMUD is
written in C, NOT C++.

DG_SCRIPTS comes with OLC, while there are older versions that will
patch against a MUD that already has OLC in it they are older versions
(and hence have more bugs) and you are likely to run into problems if
you have a different version of OLC than the version that patch was
created for. Best recommendation is to reverse-patch your OLC (fix the
bad hunks and make sure it compiles and runs), and then patch in
DG_SCRIPTS pl7a complete (again fix the bad hunks and make sure it
compiles and runs). Do NOT fix compiler errors by simply commenting out
chunks of code. Figure out why the compiler is complaining and fix the
actual error.
