It looks like the complex type is not recognized for some reason, but 
this is strange, since gcc 3.3 knows about it. Can you try to compile 
the following snipset:

#include <complex.h>
int main()
{
    complex a = 1.0 * I;
    return 0;
}

If this works, replaces #include <complex.h> by #include 
<vecLib/vecLib.h>, and try compiling it too. If both work, then I don't 
know why it is not working.

cheers,

David
