[R] [R-pkgs] package installation fails (RandomFields)

[William Dunlap]

The offending lines don't look right to me:

     38 typedef struct key_type;
    261 typedef struct mpp_storage;
    309 typedef struct cov_fct;

Shouldn't they be 'typedef struct struct_name typedefed_name'?
Later in the file there are proper typedef's for these things.
