There are 2 files that need changed for this error.
line 252 of pan/usenet-utils/utf8-utils.cc needs "guint" changed to
"size_t"
Line 506 of pan/gui/body-pane.cc needs the same change.

Once those were changed it worked for me on my amd64 system.

BTW, Charles has said, (quoting from his post on the devel list) in
reference to these two changes.  

"size_t works on 32 bit machines too, so the source should use those and
no ifdefs needed."

I had suggested that the architecture should be changed to make sure the
proper type was used on the 64 bit systems.
