one thing that I have found is that in the sources that I obtained for PS
(ps-0.98.4?) was that in the Makefile there two lines
CFLAGS= -O -DVERSION_CHECK
CFLAGS= -O
when making, I simply changed it to
CFLAGS= -O -DVERSION_CHECK
#CFLAGS= -O
that was all I had to do to get ps, w, tload to work(ish) though i'm not happy
with the output from 'w' as it puts some processes in ()'s
top broke on this but I wasn't fussed about it as my usage of it is approx 0
it isn't perfact but until (dave black?) or whoever releases a new version
specifically for 0.99 we'll all be making alternitive perl/c ps commands
