Compiling (gnome) programs

[Chris Gray <cgray@nowonder.com>]

Hi.

For some reason, I'm having major problems compiling any programs.  I've 
only tried gnome programs, but I don't know if that's relevant.  What 
happens is a *lot* of messages like this:

/usr/include/bits/string2.h:958: `__result' undeclared (first use this 
function)
/usr/include/bits/string2.h:962: warning: control reaches end of 
non-void function
/usr/include/bits/string2.h: In function `__strpbrk_c2':
/usr/include/bits/string2.h:991: `size_t' undeclared (first use this 
function)

/usr/include/bits/string2.h:1171: void value not ignored as it ought to 
be
make[2]: *** [main.o] Error 1

etc.  Has anyone else had this problem?  How do I fix it?  Incidentally, 
I am downloading the glibc source right now because that is where most 
of the files come from.

Thanks,
Chris

The reason that every major university maintains a department of
mathematics is that it's cheaper than institutionalizing all those people.
