Sadly I am ignorant of what the "main texmf" tree is or wheat files is required here.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

Essentially, getline is being defined twice in an inconsistent manner.


Any advice is appreciated.  
I would like to be able to build this on my current platform.

Please cc and reponse to me.

Thanks,
