The problem here is that power.h includes inline functions which need a c99 
standard comliant C compiler. I will probably remove the inlining functions to 
prevent problems.

Can you give me more information on the compiler. E.g. gcc --version

It cleanly compiles on a Suse installation with gcc 4.1.2. RH 5.7 should have 
also gcc 4.1.2.

I changed the inline functions now to inline static.
Hope this works with older compilers.
Tested on gcc 4.1 and open64 compilers.
