It looks like you may have corrupted version of the source.  I recently
obtained version 2.0 from iamsun.unibe.ch and the garbage you refer
to in PathLookup.h isn't there.  I only had to add one header file
(Don't remember offhand which one right now) and set the Makefiles
to the Sun versions, modify the etCC driver and everything but a few
sample applications compiled without any problems.
