The errors above are showing us that there are some defines in an include
file that are not being found.  I looked on our IRIX 6.5 system and
see that the includes are in /usr/include/sys/ipc.h:

/* Keys. */
#define IPC_PRIVATE (key_t)0    /* private key */

/* Control Commands. */
#define IPC_RMID    10  /* remove identifier */
#define IPC_SET     11  /* set options */
#define IPC_STAT    12  /* get options */

On our system, sys/ipc.h is included from sys/shm.h.  What you should
do is take a look in /usr/include/sys for the missing defines above.
It could be that there is a sys/ipc.h file on your system and it
is not being included by sys/shm.h, but I don't know.

If you give me a login to atm23 I will look around, but I really am out
of time right now.  We have the User Committee meeting here on Th-F, and
I leave for Madison, WI on Sunday evening.  I will return on Thursday
of next week and be in the office that afternoon.
