Hi,

It seems Ubuntu 8.04 came with too old g++ compiler, which does not yet 
recognize 0bXXXX as static binary notation (compared to 0xXXXX hexadecimal, 
which it does).

To solve your problem, you should either update your Ubuntu: latest stable is 
Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) ← recommended ;)

If that is not an option, you can open src/args.cc and starting on line 28
http://code.google.com/p/logkeys/source/browse/trunk/src/args.cc?r=43#28
you should see these binary definitions, which you should change to hexadecimal 
in the following manner:
0b1      → 0x1
0b10     → 0x2
0b100    → 0x4
0b1000   → 0x8
0b10000  → 0x10
0b100000 → 0x20
(fixed: 
http://code.google.com/p/logkeys/source/browse/trunk/src/args.cc?r=67#28)
Then, I belive, it should compile fine.

I have already fixed it in the repository (r67), so the fix will become common 
with the next release.

Thanks for the report!
