NNTP Compiling - type mismatch in initialization

I'm trying to compile NNTP, and when the compiler is doing the file "misc.c"
it bombs out with this:

(btw... thanks to Tim Gurbick for helping me with my first problem!)


>make server
cd server; make  "LIBS=-ldbm" "CFLAGS=-O "
cc -O  -c misc.c
misc.c:955: type mismatch in initialization
misc.c:955: type mismatch in initialization


Here is the code from the file where it seems to be boming: (approximately)

/*
**  GETLA -- get the current load average
**
**      This code stolen from la.c. (And subsequently stolen from sendmail,
**              conf.c for nntpd.)
**
**      Parameters:
**              none.
**
**      Returns:
**              The current load average as an integer.
**
**      Side Effects:
**              none.
*/

#ifdef USG
getla()
{
        return(0);
}
#else
#include <nlist.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>

struct  nlist Nl[] =
{
        { "_avenrun" },
#define X_AVENRUN       0
        { 0 },
};

getla()
{
        static int kmem = -1;
# ifdef FSCALE
        long avenrun[3];
# else
        double avenrun[3];
# endif
        extern off_t lseek();

        if (kmem < 0)
        {
                kmem = open("/dev/kmem", 0, 0);
                if (kmem < 0)
                        return (-1);
                (void) ioctl(kmem, (int) FIOCLEX, (char *) 0);
                nlist("/vmunix", Nl);
                if (Nl[0].n_type == 0)
                        return (-1);
        }




any ideas?
