It is in djdevNNN.zip package, so you should already
ave it installed, look in your djgpp/bin directory.

OK. The problem is caused by the definition of types
u_int, u_long, ... in the last part of machine.h,
which are inside some #ifdef's, so they are compiled 
only if some macros are defined.

If you compile using -ansi switch for gcc, then the 
macro __ANSI__ is defined and you should be able to 
compile the code. If you don't like using this switch 
because it breaks some other parts of your prograsm, 
you have to change the machine.h file and move the 
typedef's outside the #ifdef's.
