Getting a bunch of this.
Is my compiler just too new?

Can you provide a link?

https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/files/

It looks like that hasn't been updated in a long time. What if you try the one from this github repository, which looks like it's much more recent? https://github.com/Arthmoor/SmaugFUSS

ok Fiendish, did what you suggested, and now...

But let me ask you this, I have a 1.4 mud I owned back in 2002 named Snowdens Revenge. I kinda want to get it back running, is it worth upgrading Smaug? I do have bugs now, but it runs.

Install the zlib library from: https://www.zlib.net/

I had a similar problem in Ubuntu recently (because I had reinstalled it). To fix that:

That question is a whole other kettle of fish. I would say that upgrading is definitely worthwhile. The fixes between 1.4 and 1.9 are pretty signfiicant. MCCP support wasn't added until v1.6 for instance. But I can't predict how it will affect any customizations you've made.

Nick, I checked that first.

1. Fedora and Ubuntu don't use the same name scheme for development packages. Fedora calls it zlib-devel.
2. You should really use dnf instead of yum these days.

ok, did all that, hopefully this is the last question.

Did the make, everything ran just fine. But, I dont see a startup file in /src. This the the git download Feindish suggested.

nevermind.... chmod is your friend.

thanks for all your help.
