You could use the Unix "find" command (or the equivalent on your
system) to look for PostgreSQL header files in additional locations.

How old is your 8.2devel installation?  Near the beginning of
C:/msys/1.0/local/pgsql/include/server/access/gist.h should be a
line like the following -- what version and date does yours show?

$PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/include/access/gist.h,v 1.55 2006/09/10 00:29:34 tgl Exp $

More importantly, near the end of that file is the following macro
definition:

#define gistentryinit(e, k, r, pg, o, l) \
    do { (e).key = (k); (e).rel = (r); (e).page = (pg); \
         (e).offset = (o); (e).leafkey = (l); } while (0)

Does yours have six parameters as shown above or does it have seven?
That macro was changed in file revision 1.54 on 28 Jun; if you have
an older version then that could explain the error.
