[gentoo-user] What is that (compile errors in system headers...)

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 interesting...

 I tried to compile a little program (nothing special) and got this 
 errors:

     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:158: error: previous declaration of 'blkcnt_t' was here

 Do I have shoot in one of my feet here ???

 I am using vanilla kernel 2.6.18 on an up-to-date Gentoo linux...

 All these errors seem not be dependant on my little program but seem
 to be a misconfiguration on a very low level....

 What should I do here ?

 Thank you very much for any help in advance !

 Keep hacking!
