It is not terribly unusual (although it can be terribly frustrating) for
include files to have dependencies on other include files.  In the particular
case you gave (utmp.h), you must include <sys/types.h> before including the
utmp library.

BTW: I did a "man utmp", which brought up the getut(3C) man page, which gives
this information.
