The following reply was made to PR insight/179; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Robert Nee" <rnee@erols.com> To: "Keith Seitz" <keiths@redhat.com>, <aj@suse.de> Cc: <insight-gnats@sources.redhat.com> Subject: Re: insight/179 (was Re: libiberty? (fwd)) Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2002 17:11:59 -0400 All, I tried (thru YAST2) to replace glibc-devel (CD ROM)- didn't help (By the way, /usr/include/sys/wait.h files etc exist) I sftp'ed another package,which compiled OK on the old working 8.0 install computer -"UPS" to the new computer. This failed to compile in much the same way on the new computer, i.e. could not "find" ANSI header files and <sys/wait.h> files that are in the directory. So I have a broken install somehow, so I tried (thru YAST2) to replace every installed package (DVD) - didn't help. This implied to me that some configuration file contents are screwing up the configure file generation, so I re-installed everything over again - this time from a reformated harddisk partition. Insight compiles correctly now. After all of these iterations, much like the movie "Lola rennt", I have a happy ending.
