Re: PSPP-BUG: PSPP make check errors

[Ruth Waite]

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 ?
