I'm a lowly user, ascending to the heights of kernel space, please bear
with me. I've read the kernel-FAQ, /usr/src/linux/Documentation/*, lkml
and I have been watching this list for a week now.
I got myself the 2.1.125 kernel about a week ago. My PnP modem and my
82c931 PnP soundcard both work fine now. Unfortunately, I also need a
little program, "p3nfsd", which reads the memory of my psion organizer and
makes its contents available as an NFS drive locally. The compilation
process generates hundreds of errors, reporting redefinitions and
inconsistencies of symbols between /usr/include/linux/wait.h and
/usr/include/waitflags.h. These are only two of the many files where
clashes occur. If anybody's really keen, I can send many pages of
compilation transcript.
I have a redhat 5.1 installation, which claims that the /usr/include/*
files (as opposed to links) come from the glibc package. I couldn't find
a later package than the one I have installed (the update from the rh
site, 2.0.7-19) and I would expect that glibc should work with all
manner of unices, therefore it is more likely that the files in
/usr/include/linux are broken than the ones from glibc.
Could anyone here please point me to some documentation on how this is
meant to be? Eg, should I replace the linux headers, should I replace the
glibc headers, is it not meant to work, will I need to do some serious
hacking to fix it and contribute the result back to you, or how else
could I get this resolved?
Thanks so much,
Oliver Seidel
