I think JJ may have nailed part of it... the u_char may not be defined. Try
inserting a line to the effect of:

   typedef u_char unsigned char;

near the top of the code (before main()).

Also, the 'return on non-void function' is a new one, but I have a guess. A
function declared as a 'void' means that it 'returns' nothing. If the function
that's complaining obviously returns something, try declaring that function  as
returning that type, also up in the beginning of the code, i.e.:

   int foo();

or

  char * woof();

Depending on the type being returned.

It does sound as though these should have been addressed in a .h file.
