The problem is that <cstdlib> on Leopard does not export off_t. After adding #include <unistd.h> to src/database/types.h fixes this problem.

*** Bug 246274 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Thanks for the report and fix.
The include <unistd.h> will of course go into svn trunk (>=eix-0.15.1).
For the moment, the corresponding patch is attached to bug 246270.
