I don't know the details here, but in the past, upstream has 'cleaned up' headers and that causes this type of problem. This is, system header h1 includes h2, but is updated and no longer includes h2. Now programs that relied on h2 being included from h1 have to add that explicitly. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
