stdint.h is part of C99. My guess is that your unspecified compiler + obsolete OS is not C99 compliant. Since Solaris 8 has inttypes.h (which is supposed by POSIX to include stdint.h), it is a reasonable guess that you could might be able to replace stdint.h by inttypes.h (especially as R has been compiled on your OS and R uses inttypes.h as a fallback). When you find a solution, you should report it to the maintainer of the affyio package (see the posting guide).
