[etherlab-users] Failed compilation of latest Data Logging Service

[Johnathan Van Why]

To Whom it May Concern:

I am attempting to compile the Data Logging Service on Xubuntu 12.04. We
are using the latest Mercurial version of EtherLab and the release-1.0.0
tag for pdserv. We are using the latest Mercurial version of dls.

The compilation fails with the following errors:

make  all-recursive

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/drl/etherlab/dls-hg/src'

Here is the line that triggers the first error:

if (fl_choice(str.str().c_str(), "Nein", "Ja", NULL) == 0) return;


I'm not familiar with the "fl_choice" function, and am unable to find
information on it by searching either Google or EtherLab's code base. Could
anyone recommend a solution (and, hopefully, commit it to the repository)?

Thank you for any help,
