Ummm... you seem to be in some sort of timewarp there Gary... The home of the popt project appears to be http://freshmeat.net/projects/popt/, and there the most recent version available is 1.14. Now, 1.50 would by rights be newer than 1.14, but trouble is, 1.50 doesn't exist yet. Also, you said 1.50 in the Subject of your e-mail, and 1.5 in the body: one of those is probably a typo, and I'm not offering odds on which. How old is the ots software you're trying to port? If it's from before there was popt >=3D 1.10 available, then it might be something as simple as a failure to read all the digits in the popt version number, or comparing the numbers alphabetically rather than numerically. Shouldn't be too hard to debug.
