  No, it's more likely just due to the fact that different systems sometimes
keep some of the system-dependent definitions in headers in different places,
or name them differently, or don't implement quite all the exact same set of
definitions.  These minor discrepancies are usually worked around by using
autoconf to detect all the details at compile time and allow for the
differences.  Does the project you're building use autoconf?  What does it say
at PBGroutines.c line 7 or PBGroutines.h line 9?  I'm suspecting something
related to 64-bit file i/o functions?

    cheers,
      DaveK
