NN doesn't run in NNTP only mode, NN6.5 woes

I can't get 6.4.18 to run right, I can't get the beta 6.5.x to compile.
Please provide clues/recommendations.

Thanks!

Mike

Cannot open file /usr/spool/nn/MASTER, mode=0x80, errno=2

This is the error I get when I try to run the 6.4.18 version. I am trying
to do a client only build that will read its news from a remote machine
via nntp. The remote machine is defined in my /usr/local/lib/nntp_server
and is accessible via a telnet to its nntp port. Any hints?
 
When I try to compile the nn-current version from Australia I get:
