Gene,

Sorry you are having problems with this.

My code is still very beta and sometimes it will work.  The version of 
the system you show running is an old version for me, but not for the 
GitHub repository.

I am trying to figure out what you are doing, so some questions:

Are you using my support files from my web site?

Are you using MinGW for building?

Thanks!

Nill
