I think this is probably due to an old version of gcc.
The latest couple of versions make a better job
of checking through header files.

If you don't want to get a newer gcc,
you may get away with it if you compile with -D_SIZE_T .
One of the conflicting definitions of size_t
will probably be #ifdef'ed out by this.
(Or just comment out one of the header files in question --
I doubt if they are both needed.)
