Hi, Vincenzo,

As I figured out the post installation tasks and be able 
to run voms-proxy-init, I encountered another error. 
I believe that Yusuke also encountered the same error 
and made some code change in client.cc to get by. Since 
you mensioned that you are getting ready to release 1.6.21, 
I want to alert you to this. Whence you make the change, 
please let me know and I'll test it again.

Thanks for all your help,

Cindy
