Just declare unsigned char instead of u_char.
You can also put a #define u_char      unsigned char if you've got a lot of
those declarations.

That will work !

Because u_char is not a basic type (excuse my english) in C/C++.

Because u_char wasn't recognized, gcc assume there's a parse error before
'buf'.

So, when you try to use buf, there's a little problem...
