There seems to be bad code in the test files: invalid conversion from  
`unsigned int*' to `size_t*'.

But what you cited are just compiler /warnings/. There must have been  
some reason for a real compiler "error" ...


For me mpm worked the few times I tried to use it – and 'make check'  
had failed in some tests before. The question is what purpose 'make  
check' has: make sure that the programme works, or test whether the  
compiler works, or test whether the development environment is OK –  
or whether the test code is correct?

Actually I am missing experience in this case: in your special  
network environment and in testing/using mpm.
