Hello, I'm trying to compile guile-core in the Hurd. It seems to need to know how to directly check whether input is available on a FILE *; this is accomplished via a configure check (some systems have a __cnt structure, others use ReadCount, etc -- GNU/Linux uses _IO_read_ptr) The configure check fails on the Hurd, which surprised me since it's really a libc feature and the Hurd uses the same libc as Linux; after a little digging around I discovered that _IO_read_ptr is defined in libio.h, which for some reason doesn't appear to be present in the Hurd version of glibc. Any idea where I can find the Hurd version of this? (The configure script notes that Tk uses this feature as well, and a Hurd version of Tk has shown up on ftp.debian.org so I suspect that someone has solved this problem :-) but I can't seem to find the source diffs for the Hurd packages so I can't see what was done to fix Tk.. )
Daniel -- I haven't lost my mind, I know exactly where I left it.
