Something has gone wrong druing configure. config.h is supposed to
define SIZEOF_INT, SIZEOF_LONG and SIZEOF_SHORT, and then lsh_types.h
use these macros to figure out what type to use for 16- and 32-bit
numbers (the preprocessor doesn't know sizeof, so one can't use sizeof
in preprocessor directives).

Probably your config.h defines all the SIZEOF_*-macros to zero. Check
config.log to see what went wrong with the tests for int, short and
long.

(For those using lsh-1.5, I should point out that this is done
differently there).
