I can compile perfectly on one computer with BL2 (where Realaudio works, 
unlike elsewhere) but on the other two I cannot.  One won't configure, and 
one configures but won't make.

All computers have glibc 2.2.5 from SW81 and also gcc 2.95.3 (I also tried 
egcs and 2.85.s) and gccg++ 2.95.3.

The one that works has SW81 kernel-headers and gmake and gdb.
The one that won't compile has SW71 linuxinc and make and no gdb.

When trying to configure gs 8.50  '/lib/cpp fails sanity check' and it 
cannot find /linux/limits.h (No such file).

I can configure SANE but not make - cannot find linux/errno.h this time.

On the working computer I could configure both programs and also compile 
SANE (did not try gs since I have the older source code there).

I have on my computer.
/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/errno.h  and limits.h

A fix for this for SANE was to put
CFLAGS -I /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include
in every makefile when compiling SANE and I was told I can also put this 
in the environment (how? export something in profile?) but obviously I 
have something wrong here.

And this might not help the sanity check for /lib/cpp unless it is somehow 
related.  I tried adding to the CFLAGS lines but that did not help.

The computer which compiles is also the only one to work with Realaudio - 
the others segfault.  I may try compiling a kernel on that computer.

It did not help to reinstall linuxinc and make (from SW71) and gcc and 
gccg++ and glibc from SW81. Should I try SW81 kernel-headers and make 
instead?  (I can always uninstall, I suppose - are there any advantages or 
disadvantages to them?).  Maybe SW81 looks for the files in more places?

Should I reinstall egcs?  I tried just putting the symlink from gcc back 
to it but got the same make error anyway.

Where might I have gone wrong or how can I do a global fix (to the 
environment, whatever that means)?
