Now I get this: In file included from /usr/include/stdlib.h:438, from ethlinkstat.c:10: /usr/include/sys/types.h:62: error: conflicting types for 'dev_t' /usr/include/linux/types.h:27: error: previous declaration of 'dev_t' was here /usr/include/sys/types.h:72: error: conflicting types for 'mode_t' /usr/include/linux/types.h:33: error: previous declaration of 'mode_t' was here /usr/include/sys/types.h:77: error: conflicting types for 'nlink_t' /usr/include/linux/types.h:36: error: previous declaration of 'nlink_t' was here In file included from /usr/include/sys/types.h:133, from /usr/include/stdlib.h:438, from ethlinkstat.c:10: /usr/include/time.h:105: error: conflicting types for 'timer_t' /usr/include/linux/types.h:45: error: previous declaration of 'timer_t' was here In file included from /usr/include/sys/types.h:220, from /usr/include/stdlib.h:438, from ethlinkstat.c:10: /usr/include/sys/select.h:78: error: conflicting types for 'fd_set' /usr/include/linux/types.h:24: error: previous declaration of 'fd_set' was here In file included from /usr/include/stdlib.h:438, from ethlinkstat.c:10: /usr/include/sys/types.h:235: error: conflicting types for 'blkcnt_t' /usr/include/linux/types.h:158: error: previous declaration of 'blkcnt_t' was here In file included from /usr/include/sys/uio.h:29, from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:27, from ethlinkstat.c:15: /usr/include/bits/uio.h:43: error: redefinition of 'struct iovec' In file included from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:35, from ethlinkstat.c:15: /usr/include/bits/socket.h:146: error: redefinition of 'struct sockaddr' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:163: error: redefinition of 'struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:173: error: expected identifier before numeric constant /usr/include/bits/socket.h:216: error: redefinition of 'struct msghdr' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:231: error: redefinition of 'struct cmsghdr' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:258: error: conflicting types for '__cmsg_nxthdr' /usr/include/linux/socket.h:136: error: previous definition of '__cmsg_nxthdr' was here /usr/include/bits/socket.h:286: error: expected identifier before numeric constant /usr/include/bits/socket.h:297: error: redefinition of 'struct ucred' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:309: error: redefinition of 'struct linger' Something seems to be rotten in my system... May be the linux kernel header files under /usr/linux and those of linux-2.6.18 are incompatible ??? My includes are now: #include <linux/if.h> #include <linux/ethtool.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <linux/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> The program (a eth-link tester) is simply compiled with make <program> and I compile with gcc-4.1.1 (yse I did all the emerge system/world thingies and beside of this everything works fine until now). Compiling the kernel is as boring as ever ;O) Keep hacking! mcc -- [email protected] mailing list
