This is obviously a problem. I'm personally using glibc-2.0 which doesn't
give any errors here, but it looks like different versions of the C library
include the kernel files differently. When you run configure, it should
give you lines telling:

checking for definition of __uxx in types.h
checking for definition of u_intxx_t in types.h

Could you please let me know what the answers are to both checks (i.e.
yes or no). Because you got the errors, I guess that you got a 'no' on
both checks. If at all possible, I would greatly appreciate if you could
then tell me, what main include file is necessary on your system in order
to get /usr/include/asm/types.h included, and what preprocessor defines
are necessary to get the __u8 etc. typedefs included. For example, on
SCO ODT these definitions are in the file sys/bitypes.h, and on my
system (with glibc-2.0) they don't exist at all, but are rather named
u_intxx_t and defined in sys/types.h. This seems to vary widely.

Hm, I have R_OK in unistd.h and fcntl.h, which should get included both.
Where does the define live on your system?

This is the call to getenv, which should be defined in stdlib.h as
returning a char pointer. It looks like your C compiler couldn't find
that definition (even though it should get included when your compiler
defines __STDC__). Check your config.h file if contains a line saying

#define STDC_HEADERS 1

I suppose that you have some sort of a problem with all your header
files, or configure has screwed up on your system for some reason.
Could you please send my a copy of the configure output.

gero.
