I haven't looked at the source file you are trying to compile but, based on 
the error messages, I would suspect you are missing a header file. The errors 
you listed are typical of those you might get when a header file is missing 
which defines some data types. Check the #include lines in _ctypes.h and make 
sure all referenced header files exist on the machine being used to compile. 
Also, make sure the compiler line is being told (via -I) where to find the 
header files  if they are in any non-stander locations.
