[COMPILING] what do errors mean?

From: Darren Steinke (darrens@flashmail.com)

I was installing the new_prompts.diff patch and did ok except for
act.other.c
I got a page full or errors and was wondering if someone out there
could let me know what the errors mean? I'm not looking for someone
to tell me how to fix it just to tell me what the errors mean. I have
gone over my code and it all matches with the patch so..i am running
bpl14 btw

thank you!
