I should have been more specific :-/
The following exist on both systems. "/usr/src/linux" is a
symbolic link, in each case, to the appropriate kernel source tree.
/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/sigcontext.h
/usr/src/linux/include/asm -> asm-i386/
/usr/include/asm -> ../src/linux/include/asm/
So, regarding "sig_alarm.c" and "sigcontext.h", both systems are
set up identically. Both systems are using qmail 1.03. The Mandrake 7.1
system gives me this error on compile:
./compile sig_alarm.c In file included from /usr/include/signal.h:300,
from sig_alarm.c:1: /usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:28:
asm/sigcontext.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [sig_alarm.o] Error 1
Here's my suspicion: Mandrake tends to "customize" lots of things,
including the kernel source and even, I've heard, the ext2 filesystem. I
am actually using the stock 7.1 kernel. I'll compile a new one from the
2.2.17 virgin source tree and see if that makes a difference.
I know that the file does exist at the correct path, in the same
way on both systems. For whatever reason, it appears that on the 7.1
system, the multiple links are not being followed to the end.
