Hi,

I am getting Parse errors in a header file, which is written in C language. I am running it on LINUX OS. I checked the lines in which it is giving parse errors but I didn't find anyhting wrong. Can anybody tell me how to solve these errors?? is there any tools find out the parse errors or hidden characters ??? The output is

/usr/local/include/vipl.h:74: parse error before "VIP_UNIT64"

Thanks.

What SDK is this...? Maybe others had it installed already?

Can you please post the output? I don't think anyone here is capable of mindreading.

Hi,

you can possibly solve your problem opening the file with another editor. Vi, Vim, gvim, emacs or xemacs are trusted by a lot of people and they usually don't hide control characters. Try to open it with one of these, and see what happens.
