error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’

Compiling xpp (The X Printing Panel) on SL6 (RHEL6 essentially):
Code:
xpp.cxx: In constructor ‘printFiles::printFiles(int, char**, int&)’:
xpp.cxx:200: error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’

The same error with all c++ constructors - gcc 4.4.4.

If anyone can throw any light on this it would be very much appreciated - I'm after getting BitBox[1] up and running and it won't run without xpp.
