Re: [Ltib] Strange Problem in building a package...

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Tom,

The file failing is using the build machine's compiler, so it may be
that switching to a newer distro has changed this environment.  You may
have this kind of problem: 
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2002-11/msg00166.html

Make sure that the failing source file is including unistd.h

What may be happening is the configure (run spoofed) is inferring an
incorrect setup for the files built for the build machine.

Regards, Stuart
