- This is a relatively common error which occurs when porting software to
- Linux. Typically, just commenting out the offending declaration (in this
- case, uucico.c line 304) will fix the problem. Depending on what assumptions
- the code makes about the type for strncasecmp, you may need to fix other
- parts of the code as well. I typically comment out, compile, and if it
- doesn't dump core and seems to work, don't worry too much :-). Since this IS
- a mailsystem, I would probably be more careful in checking the code first,
- since (unlike some other toys) its pretty important that it work correctly
- and reliably.

- Hope this helps!
