alloc.c:66: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...'

[Robert P. J. Day]

  newbie alert here.  i'm trying to run one of the simple examples for
systemtap and i'm getting precisely the error described here:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/2006-q4/msg00428.html

my current (unadulterated) system configuration is:

  - fully-updated fedora core 6 laptop
  - latest (as of this morning) "git pull" kernel
  - systemtap-0.5.10-1.fc6
  - systemtap-runtime-0.5.10-1.fc6

  should i be manually commenting anything out of alloc.c as suggested
in that thread?  thanks.
