Hi all,

Since a few days I have a problem.

First of all, I'm running a fully updated Woody system (on an Intel 
Pentium III) and haven't changed anything (afaik) before the problem 
occurred.

The problem is that I cannot inlude <limits.h> anymore in programs.
This occurs for example in a standard ./configure script that checks for 
GTK. I simply get this:

configure:5938: checking for gtk-config
configure:5973: checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0
configure:6074: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 
-I/usr/include/gli
b-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include   conftest.c 
-L/usr/lib -L/us
r/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext 
-lX11 -lm  1

a little bit lower:

configure: failed program was:
#line 6111 "configure"

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
 return ((gtk_major_version) || (gtk_minor_version) || 
(gtk_micro_version));
; return 0; }


I checked the file permissions and attributes of all limits.h files and 
all files that are mentioned in the above list, but all permissions are 
OK...

What could be wrong??

If you have any idea how I can check what's wrong or how I can solve 
this nasty problem: please let me know!
Please send (Cc:'s of) your replies to manuel@msxnet.org, as I'm not 
subscribed to this mailing lists... (My system is at work...)

If I use strace, I can't find any signal that is about permissions...

Thanks in advance for any reaction... I'm getting kind of desperate now.

Best regards,

Manuel Bilderbeek
