That is the exact text of the error. I'm not at a stage of being able to compile
the code yet, it is simply giving me the errors as if they are syntax errors.
But the error messages I've given are the exact messages I am receiving. There
is no more information provided :(

The first error I'm coming across is in the method dents (cuDents for me) :

__device__ static void cuDents (VECTOR EPoint, TNORMAL *Tnormal, VECTOR normal)
{
  DBL noise;
  VECTOR stucco_turb;

  noise = cuNoise (EPoint, (TPATTERN*)Tnormal);  THIS LINE HAS THE ERROR

  noise = noise * noise * noise * Tnormal->Amount;

  /* Get normal displacement value. */
  cuDNoise(stucco_turb, EPoint);

  /* Displace "normal". */
  cuVAddScaledEq(normal, noise, stucco_turb);
}

The next error appears in the function do_Average_Normals :

__device__ static void cuDo_Average_Normals (VECTOR EPoint,TNORMAL
*Tnormal,VECTOR normal, INTERSECTION *Inter)
{
   int i;
   BLEND_MAP *Map = Tnormal->Blend_Map;  ERROR ON THIS LINE
   SNGL Value;
   SNGL Total = 0.0;
   VECTOR V1,V2;

   cuMake_Vector (V1, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

   for (i = 0; i < Map->Number_Of_Entries; i++)
   {
     Value = Map->Blend_Map_Entries[i].value;

     cuAssign_Vector(V2,normal);

     cuPerturb_Normal(V2,Map->Blend_Map_Entries[i].Vals.Tnormal,EPoint, Inter);
                  ERROR ON THIS LINE ^ AS WELL

     cuVAddScaledEq(V1,Value,V2);

     Total += Value;
   }

   cuVInverseScale(normal,V1,Total);
}

The first error has just the ( of (TPATTERN *) highlighted in red as an error
and nothing else.

The second error has Tnormal highlighted as the error.

The third error has Map highlighted as the error



The three errors I receive above, in order, in full text are :

Error: Argument of type "TPATTERN * " is incompatible with parameter of type
"TPATTERN * "

TNORMAL *Tnormal
Error: A value of type "BLEND_MAP * " cannot be used to initialize an entity of
type "BLEND_MAP * "

and

BLEND_MAP *Map
Error: argument of type "TNORMAL * " is incompatible with parameter of type
"TNORMAL * "


Hope this is of more help
