I had the same problem with it on a Sun3/60 under 4.0.1.  I retrieved my
copy from purdue, supposedly the latest version.  Either way,  I found
that the easiest way to get it to compile without error was to use the GNU
c-compiler (gcc1.35).  Now it works just fine.  Don't forget to use the
"-traditional" flag.

Hope this helps.
