[error: request for member '__pos' in something not a structure or union]

Hi, Greetings!

On trying to install RASPA on my PC an unrecorded error in the community has been reported: I encounter a problem in the file output.ac;
The problem is described as the following:

"(...)

output.c  -DDLL_EXPORT -DPIC -o .libs/output.o
output.c: In function 'ReadRestartOutput':
output.c:7981:62:error: request for member '__pos' in something not a structure or union

      |                                                                                                     ^



I have tried to compile the software by changing the highlighted variable, deleting "__pos", although it was not a way out.

Important information:
I'm working on Windows 10 OS, using VSCode with a ZSH terminal.

Hope for instructions,
