i run make and after/during the:
gcc -o blah.o etc -lm -lcrypt

i get :
collect2:ld terminated with signal 15 [Terminated], core dumped

anyone know how i can rectify this ??

The compiler and "make" are pretty thoroughly debugged applications. Your problem might be caused by insufficient memory.

If you have an old PC and want to compile a MUD you might be better off installing a Unix variant, eg. Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD. I am using OpenBSD which is easy enough to install, although Linux installs pretty easily too.

Even a low-end PC (provided it is a 386 or better) should be able to run that.
