However, the "bug" is that any code relies on /usr/include/..., per se, at all. /usr/include should be used ONLY for applications to be run on THIS machine and under THIS version of the operating system. In general, the path to the appropriate include files needs to be a parameter of the Makefiles with the default becoming "/usr/include/" for applications. If someone is compiling a new version of the operating system, they should be required to specify the appropriate include environment for that configuration. ---- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@dataplex.net
