[BioPython] biopython installation problem

[Jeffrey Chang]

The SGI cc compiler seems to be much more strict than gcc regarding 
types.  I've gone through and  added typecasts when necessary, and for 
the error on line 532, rearranged the syntax so the compiler will be 
happy.

Please check out the current version of triemodule.c from anonymous CVS 
(cvs.biopython.org) and give it a try.  Please give the anonymous CVS a 
few hours to sync with the actual repository, though...
