You will notice that these errors come from the .c file not the .vala file. When you are calling a library from a C program you must also have the .h headers installed. In practice this usually means installing a package such as libNAME-dev
If you are using Ubuntu/Debian try sudo apt-get install libfcgi-dev Hope this helps, I am also a noob, but this happens to me a lot On 11 March 2010 22:11, Jeff Cave <[email protected]> wrote: > I've decided to start tinkering with Vala (come from MS C# background), > having most of my interest in web development I've decided to start with > libvfcgi.
