Compiling Epoch on DECstation 2100

[Neil Erskine]

][b
	I am trying to compile epoch (using m-pmax.h, s-bsd4-3.h) on a
DECstation 2100 with DEC's (really MIPS') C compiler, but am getting a
compilation error in xutil.c line 168, which has the line

	*((int *) (ap->slot)) = XFASTINT (cvalue);

The complaint is that 'slot' is not defined. If I change the
definition of the slot field to char * (it is currently void *), the
error goes away (though other explicable ones appear elsewhere).  The
code looks fine to me.  Is this a bug in the way void * is handled?
Has anyone found a reasonable way to get around the problem?

					Thanks in advance,
					    Neil
