File "sys_errlist.h" non-existent in FC4
 
I've had this error before, and I have no idea what it is. I'm trying to build Gnome 2.12 using jhbuild, and when I run "make install" it gives me this error:
Code:
[me@localhost jhbuild]$ make install
gcc -Wall -O2 -o install-check install-check.c
In file included from install-check.c:19:
/usr/include/stdio.h:750:30: error: bits/sys_errlist.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [install-check] Error 1
I googled the error message, couldn't find anything. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? What exactly is "sys_errlist.h"? How can I fix this?

I just tried compiling a simple "hello world" script in C, and I got the same error.
Code:
[me@localhost Desktop]$ gcc hello.c
In file included from hello.c:1:
/usr/include/stdio.h:750:30: error: bits/sys_errlist.h: No such file or directory
So now I'm thinking something is wrong with my GCC installation and/or configuration. Any ideas?

Bump, this is bugging the hell out of me.

Yes, that's what it looks like. Did you install it with yum, download all the rpms from a site like freshrpms.net, compile it yourself, or is this the version of gcc that came on disc with FC4? what packages and versions did you install? does /usr/include/bits/sys_errlist.h exist? does it exist in another location?

I didn't install gcc manually, I have been using the one packaged with the FC4 disc (but I probably updated it during a "yum update"). I just did a "yum -y remove gcc && yum -y install gcc" and I still got the same error.

try reinstalling the "glibc-headers" package

I fixed it. You'll never believe what worked: I created an empty file named "sys_errlist.h" in /usr/include/bits/. Worked like a charm.
