[EMBOSS] incorporating old code in 2.9.0

[Derek Gatherer]

Hi

I have some local legacy code (written by a predecessor around 2000), which 
was successfully incorporated in 2.8.0.  I used to get the CVS version of 
EMBOSS, stick the local *.c and *.acd in the relevant places, modify the 
Makefile.am, then run aclocal -I m4, autoconf -v, automake -a and then a 
configure, make and make install as usual.

However, the old code is now failing at make with 2.9.0.  The errors are 
slightly different for each but all are incompatible types in assignment.

For instance, with one I get:

incompatible type for argument 2 of `ajSeqReplace'

and another:

incompatible type for argument 1 of `ajStrChar'

Is this because something has changed in nucleus/ajax etc which precludes 
the use of the old code?

The only other thing that I think might be relevant is that I've recently 
upgraded my compiler to gcc-3.3.2, from a seriously old version.  I'm still 
using autoconf-2.57 and automake-1.7.5.

I can provide further details if this is not enough to diagnose.

Cheers
Derek
