Spidey, slow down mate.

The original error was in a file called src/sysutils.cpp.

Find that file and open it in a text editor.

Scroll down past the copyright header and find the first line
where is says something like (it may not be exactly like that):

     #include <stdio.h>

Then, just before that line add this one (exactly, ignoring 
leading white space):

    #include <stdlib.h>

Save the file.

Recompile.

If, when you recompile you get and error saying <stdlib.h> is
not found, then your compiler is broken and you should re-install
it from the package for your distribution.

HTH,
Erik
