While trying to compile some public domain software on our loaner RS6000 thing, the compiler rudely informed me that the software was asking for a C header file that didn't exist. The offending header file is <sys/types.h>. Is it not supposed to be there, or is our installation lacking? If its the latter, could some kind soul please mail me the file! Please! Thanks in advance... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik O'Shaughnessy Small Systems New Mexico State University -- _____________________________________________________________________________ ~ | Erik O'Shaughnessy |\/\/\/| ~ | Small Systems | | ~ | New Mexico State University | * | ~ o========== | Las Cruces, NM USA | (x)(x) |_|==== | eoshough@dante.nmsu.edu C _) === |------------------------------------ | ,___| === |"Do not follow the NULL pointer, | / | for that path leads to chaos, /____\ Die Bart!
