You have too little information here. Which platform, compiler, etc is
this? 

R certainly builds fine on at least some i686-pc-linux-gnu systems.

I believe this is supposed to be defined via <sys/types.h> (and "int"
could well be wrong on 64-bit systems), but your include chain may
somehow be broken.
