So I think what I did was I edited nntpserv.h and changed those two lines.

#include "/home/user/src/husky/smapi/smapi/msgapi.h"
#include "/home/user/src/husky/smapi/smapi/progprot.h"

.... and it compiled. It may not be the best solution, but I had the same problems you did and when I got fed up I just started trying to point directly to files it was looking for. ;)

Funny thing I just noticed. I don't have progprot.h on my entire system, but changing that line to point directly to the smapi directory still worked. So maybe as long as it finds msgapi.h you're good to go. ;)
