This error occurs because the AIX header files are not defining the
"fd_set" type in either of the following two header files:

	#include <sys/types.h>
	#include <sys/time.h>

You need to figure out which AIX header file(s) define that type.
It may perhaps also be necessary to define some special preprocessor
symbol before including the appropriate header files in order
to make the definition of that type visible.
