Hey Levi, It seems I hit the same errors as you did (after installing linux/ipmi.h, which isn't installed by default on RHEL4). The '__user' #define seems to have issues.
Anyways, I did a patch that seems to resolve the problem. Could you try it out? diff -p -u -r1.83 configure.ac --- configure.ac 30 Mar 2007 00:33:33 -0000 1.83 +++ configure.ac 25 Apr 2007 22:35:43 -0000 @@ -292,7 +292,17 @@ AC_HEADER_TIME AC_HEADER_SYS_WAIT AC_CHECK_HEADERS([unistd.h fcntl.h getopt.h pthread.h]) AC_CHECK_HEADERS([linux/types.h error.h sys/io.h asm/io.h]) -AC_CHECK_HEADERS([linux/ipmi.h sys/ipmi.h]) +AC_CHECK_HEADERS([linux/ipmi_msgdefs.h]) +AC_CHECK_HEADERS([linux/compiler.h]) +AC_CHECK_HEADERS([linux/ipmi.h], [], [], +[#ifdef HAVE_LINUX_IPMI_MSGDEFS_H + #include <linux/ipmi_msgdefs.h> + #endif + #ifdef HAVE_LINUX_COMPILER_H + #include <linux/compiler.h> + #endif +]) +AC_CHECK_HEADERS([sys/ipmi.h]) I've also committed to the 0.4.0 CVS and 0.3.0-stable branches if its more convenient for you to just update from CVS.
