Oh ok, thanks! Im on linux by the way.
Xonya, your brother's pc is windows so that won't help much, thanks anyway.
benmachine, there was no Makefile.local but I made one with that variable and the other 5 about building a client, server, etc. It still didn't compile the client for some reason, just tremded.x86 which I thought was strange...
I looked for the message you put there but found this:
Trying SMP acceleration...
^3ERROR: SMP support was disabled at compile time
...failed.

I think it might be because I'm using tjw's client. I might compile a normal client using svn to see if it works.
Thanks, both of you
