I'm use to Keil's #pragma pack(push,1)/#pragma pack(pop) directives...how/where is the structure packing defined in the LPCXpresso IDE?

Not tried this in LPCXPresso, but the GCC docs suggest that #pragma pack is supported by the compiler....

You can pack individual structures with
[COLOR=red]__attribute__((__packed__))[/COLOR]

I suggest that the best way to use this is something like this:

#define PACKED [COLOR=red]__attribute__((__packed__))[/COLOR]

and you would define a structure like this:
struct test
{
        unsigned char  field1;
        unsigned short field2;
        unsigned long  field3;
} PACKED ;
