    As I noted in my other post today, I did find the same error.

    Change that line to something like as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
if ((lfd = open(fn,O_RDWR | O_CREAT,S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR|S_IRGRP|S_IWGRP)) < 0) {
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    That adds the third "mode" argument which Ubuntu reguires [1] for open
calls that use "O_CREAT".  Since I wasn't sure what that call might
normally need, as shown above I set it rw for both user & group.  After I
made that change, I was able to compile & build a debian package for it. 
(I could make the build log available, if anyone would like to see it...)
     Haven't tried actually installing & running the resulting package,
though;  still working on other packaging issues...  I also hadn't done
any planning for a patch system for the debian builds, but it looks like
I'll need to do that, at least for ubuntu versions;  and if it works
properly under Debian with that same addition, I'll likely just add it
(as a patch) as part of the debian package build for 0.92...
