Re: PSPP-BUG: PSPP make check errors

Can you send your config.log file (it's large so you might have to compress it).

Also, can you try compiling a very simple "hello world" program, like:

#include <stdio.h>

void main (void)
{
printf ("hello world\n");
}

Thanks.

     Sorry, total noob.

     I think the standard C library is /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so. If this does not make sense, can you tell me how to determine the standard C library?

     stdio.h file:

     /* Define outside of namespace so the C++ is happy. */
     struct _IO_FILE;

     __BEGIN_NAMESPACE_STD
     /* The opaque type of streams. This is the definition used elsewhere. */
     typedef struct _IO_FILE FILE;   <<<--- LINE48
     _END_NAMESPACE_STD

     The error reads: /usr/include/stdio.h:48:1: error: expected ?=?, ?,?, ?;?, ?asm? or ?__attribute__? before ?typedef? typedef struct _IO_FILE FILE;

     Thanks so much for your help!

     This is strange.   It looks almost like a problem with your standard C library.
     What standard C library do you have installed? and what version?

     What do you see immediately before line 48 in /usr/include/stdio.h ?
