Why should we help you when you have a dual operton???  Just kidding 
Michael (and a bit jealous..) :)

I've not played with compiling a lot of stuff on 64 bit machines, but 
I've learned to focus on the first error presented as other errors could 
well be caused by a previous one.  64 bit warnings should be okay, but I 
could be wrong.  What does GenDefs.h line 102 look like?  Sounds like 
something might be missing, as in another include file or possibly wrong 
version.  I would focus on tracking down why this generates a syntax error.

I found this link which appears to have references to a similar problem. 
  I don't have time to review the whole thing, but maybe it will help you:

It's a bit dated, but it might hold some clues..


Also what kernel are you running?
