Getting DiskSim 3.0 working on Fedore Core 3

Downloaded DiskSim 3.0 , Disk Simulator used to study the performance aspects of storage systems. However I had some problems getting the simulator working on Linux Fedora Core 3. After a couple of hours of playing around with it, I finally got it working. Also I have posted a patch on my website, so that someone else can get the simulator working without going the pain that I went through. However note you need gcc295 (version 2.95) to make the simulator. Have fun!!!
