Hi. Please look in the file nbase/nbase_config.h for the lines that
define the types int8_t, int16_t, etc. They are around line 209. For me
they look like

/* #undef int8_t */
/* #undef int16_t */
/* #undef int32_t */
/* #undef int64_t */
/* #undef uint8_t */
/* #undef uint16_t */
/* #undef uint32_t */
/* #undef uint64_t */

because my GNU/Linux computer has those types, but maybe OS X 10.3.9
doesn't. Write back with what those lines say.

Then check the output of the configure script in the nbase directory for
lines referring to those types. For me they are

checking for int8_t... yes
checking for int16_t... yes
checking for int32_t... yes
checking for int64_t... yes
checking for uint8_t... yes
checking for uint16_t... yes
checking for uint32_t... yes
checking for uint64_t... yes

If they say something other than "yes" that could point to the problem.
