NfoCipher's FC4 Tutorial

Currently, I am trying to comiler and run the Torque SDK 1.3 on Suse 10.0 running 32 bit on a AMD Athlon 64. I was reading the "Unable to compile Torque 1.3.0 on Fedora Core 4" thread, and that fixed most of my problems. Later in the thread, the person having the problem says they fixed a Seg Fault from NfoCipher's T2D FC4 Tutorial. The link doesn't work anymore for the tutorial. My exact problem is I got everything to compile and link, but everytime I run either the release or debug it Seg Faults before even opening up a window. Has anyone had this particular problem or does anybody have a copy of NfoCipher's tutorial? Thanks in advance.
