HELP: Booting Annex terminal server from Linux box?

I've just bought a second hand Annex I terminal server and would like to
get it to boot from my Linux box.

It came with a DC-600 tape cartridge full of software to compile and
install on the unix host to allow the annex to boot up.

I've tried a few times, but can't get the damn software to make.

I'm getting various errors from the install-annex shell script,
including one which says "#include <netinet/in.h> not found, hoping I
can do without it" when it looks for features on the system.

Later, after it has constructed the Makefile, the compile bombs out in
libannex.c - some incompatibility between definitions of msghdr struct.


Has anyone out there on the net got a Linux box to boot an Annex I
terminal server?  If so, can I have a copy of your config or could you
give me some tips on how to get this thing working?


Thanks

Craig
