I have some problems installing Epoch 3.2b on a DECstation 3100 (with R4).

Any help would be welcome, including an address where to send
installation problem reports. 

Here is the problem:

In the compilation of xutil.c, I get the following error message:

cc -O -Demacs    -DBUTTON -DCB -c xutil.c
ccom: Error: xutil.c, line 168: slot undefined
                              *( (int *) (ap->slot) ) =  (cvalue);
      -------------------------------------------^
ccom: Error: xutil.c, line 168: member of structure or union required
                              *( (int *) (ap->slot) ) =  (cvalue);
      -------------------------------------------^
ccom: Error: xutil.c, line 173: member of structure or union required
                              *( (unsigned char **) (ap->slot) )
[etc.]

I must add that my compiler didn't like "VOID" declarations and I
replaced them with "void". I doubt this caused the problem, but one
never knows.
