   the following lines are excerpted from /usr/include/sys/types.h in ISC 2.0.2

   typedef	char *		faddr_t;	/* same as caddr_t for 8086/386 */

   they cause syntax errors when used.

   the program being compiled is Xloadimage, patchlevel 3.

   any ideas?

Yes, the problem is sys/types.h is being include more than once (generaly
inside the X11/*.h files..)  What I've done is to #ifdef the sys/*.h files
so they only get parsed once.

ie :

#ifndef _h_sys_types
#define _h_sys_types

<... standard text of sys/types.h ...>

#endif /* _h_sys_types */
