look, i admit it, i'm not a c programmer and never pretended to be. so
far, out of 5 apps i've ftp'd, i've only got xed to compile. all the rest
bum out, with something like this:

cc -O   -c commands.c
In file included from jove.h:301, from commands.c:8:
externs.h:138: conflicting types for `lseek'
?
/usr/include/sys/types.h:90: previous declaration of `lseek'
In file included from commands.c:26:
sysprocs.h:36: redefinition of `pid_t'
/usr/include/sys/types.h:75: `pid_t' previously declared here
*** Error code 1

any ideas? this was an attempt to compile jove. mosaic and xfig said
pretty much the same sort of stuff.
