 I see. I thought it was strange that "if" with HAVE_INLINE, 
with respect to what the manual was saying, so I tried
-DSL_RANGE_CHECK=0 but did not add -DHAVE_INLINE. 
Shouldn't the configure figure out if the compiler supports 
inlining, and behave accordingly?

In any case, I will follow your suggestion.

Yes, like when I declare size_t i and after I declare i=-1;
but I will have still to see what happens if at runtime i=a; where
int a and a is negative.. damn laziness.

In any case thanks very much Mr. Gough, I will report back in case
further difficulties should arise.
