    Yeah unfortunatly it has to compile using that or I can't submit it.

    Then remove the useless variables to get rid of the warnings. If the variables are required to be there (in the assignment) then the assignment is impossible.

    So I remove them but then how do I fix the segmentation fault errors?

    Ok so I've been playing with it again but gotten the below compile errors that don't make sense since from what I can tell I've defined the symbols they are saying aren't defined.:

    Checking that submission compiles

    You have variable declarations after "code":
    Code:
    void cleanUpAll(struct messagenode **head_msg,FILE **fp,char *packet)
    {
       fclose(*fp);
       free(packet);
       
       struct messagenode *current_msg, *head_msg_local;
       struct pktnode *current_pkt, *head_pkt;
    
    Blue is code, red is variable declarations.

    Standard C doesn't allow variables to be declared after code within a block. Just move the variables up to above the blue lines, and it should work. I think that would fix all the errors you get, as they all seem to be related to the bad variable declarations.
