Re: Unable to compile; sys/io.h not found (fwd)



I'm going to be recompiling libc6 as a verification pass. The powertweak
people are saying we should have a sys/io.h, but it looks like it's
something specific to arches that use ISA.

See if you sys/io.h is listed in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6-dev.list

It is is not, then the package maintainer messed up.  If it is, your system
has somehoe landed in an inconsistent state.  Download the libc6-dev deb
again and reinstall it.  Before reinstalling it do a 'dpkg --contents
libc6-dev*.deb | more' to see if sys/io.h is part of the package that you
downloaded.
