     I think that it's because I'm not on a full sarge system (like
     I said it's a woody with patches),
     and I believe that I can get past this point if I were to
     only discover which system library defines the type "atom_type."
     

Firstly, are you sure that you've got an up to date cvs tree?  I saw a
problem like this some weeks ago but thought it had been fixed now.

atom_type is defined in src/expressions/operations.h which is/should be
automatically created from the perl script
src/expressions/operations.h.pl and has a dependency on operations.def
so my guess is that the problem is somewhere here.

What happens if you do :

cd src/expressions
make clean
make operations.h
grep atom_type operations.h

Oh and what compiler are you using ?
