Hi
I was tryin to load support for ntfs so I downloaded ntsfprgs,fuse,ntsfprogs-gnome and ntsfprogs-devel and when I started to configure the fuse I got this message

and i setup gcc and cpp but I still have the same message can any body help please and I hope my message is clear because there alot of points I'm not able to express because I'm totally new in linux

It always pays to examine the config.log file ....



Cheers,
Tink

there alot of info in the config.log and i don't understand it can you me please... !!!

Look for the cpp ...



Cheers,
Tink

what about this part

Syntax error
configure:5684: /lib/cpp conftest.c
In file included from conftest.c:11:
/usr/include/limits.h:125:26: error: no include path in which to search for limits.h
configure:5690: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

Well done. Now check if you have the kernel and/or libc development files
installed, which limits.h is part of.

In this context: it helps if you mention your distro (either in the post,
or in your profile [if you're only using one - and you haven't changed it
very recently :}]).

I'm sorry I don't know how to do that can you clarify this to please and regarding the distro that I'm using well I'm using centos 5

I'm not a Centos expert, so there's probably a more elegant way
of doing this...


Cheers,
Tink

when I copied the code to the shell I got
glibc-devel-2.5-12

Now if you do
Does that show you the header the config.log file was complaining about?


Cheers,
Tink

no it doesn't

Hmmm ... Try installing the kernel-source (or kernel-header, again, I don't know
much about Centos package management) package, then, since it wasn't listed in
the output of the first grep. Is there a GUI tool in centos that allows you to
search for available packages?


Cheers,
Tink

i tried to install the kernel and kernel header but told me the the package is already installed and i installed kernel devel but the problem still exist

no answer untill now
