Hello. I am having a problem getting anything to compile in Slackware 9.1. Yesterday I decided to clear out the HD and put a fresh Slackware 9.1 install on it. I Installed 9.1 with Gnome only and then upgraded all packages to current, installed nvidia and got everything up and running just fine. I then installed Dropline Gnome and it went just fine as well.

I decided that since I wanted to get K3b and cdbake oven that I would go ahead and install KDE as well so that I wouldn't have any problems with deps.

I installed KDE from the CD by installing all packages from the kde folder on CD2.

Ok, KDE now starts fine and Gnome runs fine too. But I found a new problem. I tried to compile Wine and cdbake oven and Pingus. All three give me the same error and I have no idea how to continue.

They configure fine when I run ./configure but give me the following error in make.

I went ahead and tried make install but it didn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here. I never had this problem before this fresh install. Did I miss something?

Any help would be appreciated.

hmm.,,,,,/usr/include

looks like the kernel header files are out of whack........

did you happen to upgrade them to current also??
you might un-install them and put in the default version that came
with 9.1...........v.2.4.22
header files only, leave kernel and modules as they are now.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried what you said and it was a no-go. I see no differences. hmmmmm, this is odd.

I've scoured the web for a solution to this problem, and I've found lots of answers that just don't work. I run Slackware-current, and I compiled and installed 2.6.9-rc3-bk13. I can't get... *looks around the room, then whispers* ...libdvdcss-1.2.8 to compile.

my solution? I logged onto my server (SuSE 9.1 Pro) and snatched the /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h file and replaced my existing one with it. everything seems to work fine.

if you want, you can download it from my server:

http://local.winchesterpc.com/pub/little_endian.h

please let me know if this works for you or if you have other results...

This has just happened too me also, i found a fix add ./configure --build=i686 and everything compiles again
