LYNX-DEV Problems Compiling Latest Lynx On VAX/VMS...

I've been running Lynx (I believe 2.6) for some time now and I went to
compile the latest version and encountered the following problems.

I'm running on a VAX 6000-340, 4 processors, 128 MEG RAM, VAX/VMS v5.5-2HW
and Wollongong TCP/IP v5.2 (I believe) and VAXC

When it tried to compile the HTTCP.C it spit out the following errors.

Now, I don't know much about C and would appreciate any and all help on
this problem as I would like to run the latest version.

Thanks.
