I had no trouble building 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 out of the box on Tru64 4.0f
+ patches, with the vendor tools.

I also had no trouble building 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 on Tru64 5.1 + patches,
also with the vendor tools.

I've seen two cases where this happens:

1) You have bind 8.x (or perhaps 9.x) installed somewhere, and the
sys/bitypes.h file from bind is getting picked up before the
/usr/include/sys/bitypes.h file, which has the necessary definitions for
uint8_t, etc.

2) You have a completely unpatched 5.0 box, and there's some bug in the
in6.h that was fixed in a patch.

I'm pretty hazy on the details for #2, but #1 took me a long time to
figure out when I ran into the problem a while back.

Basically, if you install bind 8.x or 9.x, do *not* install its version
of sys/bitypes.h with the rest of bind's include files.

sys/bitypes.h
