you should install the new 4.0 version instead (but it will not
solve your problem).

it looks like a compiler bug. More exactly: there is a weird usage,
syntactically correct but very awkward, of variables STARTINGPOT and
STARTINGWFC from two different modules,that confuses the compiler
(it confuses me as well). A compiler that gets confused is buggy
by definition.

not sure you can. It depends on the kind of machine yout have.
Try to update your compiler to a more recent version, or to
get a different compiler.
