OK, I think that I have tracked some of this down.  Let me guess -
both of you have aalib-1.2, and have NOT updated the graphics/aalib
port to 1.4.r5, right? :)

The thing is, misc/bb tries to fondle aalib's internals, and the newer
aalib version is somewhat, should we say, less available :)
In particular, bb tries to use the 'parameters' array, member of the
'aa_context' structure; this array is defined as a pointer to a
'struct parameters', which, as of 1.4.r5, is no longer declared for
the general public.  There is even a comment in 1.4.r5's aalib.h,
which warns against explicitly using aa_context's members.

The only fix/workaround that I can see is to contact the misc/bb
authors and point them at the newer version of aalib and their own
wicked ways :)

G'luck,
Peter
