Please try the latest version of Greenstone (version 2.52) to make sure we
haven't already fixed your problem -- we've made a lot of improvements and bug
fixes since version 2.41! If you have compile errors then we'd like to know
about them.

You can also send me personally a small set of documents that exhibits the
problem and I'll try it here.

Regards,

Michael
