Re: [gentoo-user] Re: gtk+ [error: conflicting types for 'Cursor' on emerge]

I kind of prefer that the dominant OS if you will be Mac....

Here's something else. The error message starts here: 

In file included from /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/Foundation.h:12,
                 from /System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Headers/Cocoa.h:12,
                 from gtkapplication.c:41:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSObjCRuntime.h:60: error: stray '@' in program


and then there are lines and lines of this:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSObject.h:97: error: expected identifier or '(' before '+' token
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSObject.h:98: error: expected identifier or '(' before '-' token
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSObject.h:99: error: expected identifier or '(' before '-' token
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSObject.h:100: error: expected identifier or '(' before '-' token
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSObject.h:102: error: expected identifier or '(' before '+' token
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSObject.h:105: error: expected identifier or '(' before '+' token

and then the final error message that I posted before. 


Anyone??
