I am trying to use a RPC library called clnt_call in my XS.
clnt_call() takes a timeout argument called tout of the type 'struct
timeval'
defined as

struct timeval {
        time_t          tv_sec;         /* seconds */
        suseconds_t     tv_usec;        /* microseconds */
};

xsubpp(1) is having problem wanting me to define it in my 'typemap'
file.
How do I do that? If I just say

struct timeval     T_PTROBJ

Then I get an error on line 117 of my RPC.c

if (sv_derived_from(ST(4), "struct timeval")) {
            IV tmp = SvIV((SV*)SvRV(ST(4)));
            tout = INT2PTR(struct timeval,tmp);
        }

Where line 117 is 'tout = INT2PTR'
the error message reads
RPC.c:117: conversion to non-scalar type requested

Thanks
