first you should remove those includes. no regular application
should need kernel or compiler intrisic header files. if at all
they should be included from the regular headers in /usr/include.

i have 4.1.2, john's may be older. please find attached the
modifications that i use. they should be mostly included in
what was in 1.8.6.

yes. that is definitely simpler. surf has not been changed since.

some more hints on compiling from scratch and modifications
should be in the fedora rpm specs that i uploaded to the VMD
public biocore. it may not all apply to SUSE, but you should
be able to translate this.

cheer,
