Absolutely. Adhering to the standard should be primary concern, the rest is secondary. > cdrtools should use /usr/include/linux unless > told otherwise. Yes > Odd distributions are a fact of life I maintain that it's the user's responsibility to supply correct headers for the kernel the binary *is being compiled for*. As said before, who said I'm compiling for the running kernel? Users who don't have the clue for this should either use a distro which works, or a pre-compiled binary. Apps should be able to be told where those headers are. Apps saying "the headers must be in /usr/src/include" aren't all that smart, but it's usable. I return, this also means that software maintainers can't expect everyone to be able to compile the latest alpha^5 version. Saying "come back once you've compiled and tried this alpha^5" is unrealistic.
