I'm using this box as a test platform so I've been throwing a lot of
Open Source software at it. Nothing that I don't have running on
production 4.0 boxes though. The problem was from a
/usr/local/include/sys/bitypes.h file. It defines the above types as
'u_int16_t' instead of 'uint_16'... the same for the other sizes.
Since the compile command include an '-I/usr/local/include' the
compiler looked there first. I renamed the /usr/local file but could
have also solved the problem by putting a '-I/usr/include' before the
'-I/usr/local/include'. The local file was copyrighted 1996 by
Internet Software Consortium so it might have come from a version of
inn I put up.
