Re: [gamin] Re: Building gamin 0.1.6

John,

So a possible solution is,

1. upgrade the inotify.h on my system (use the one that comes with 2.6.13.4)
2. recompile linux kernel 2.6.13.4 against the new header
3. rebuild gamin with the new header
4. rebuild gnome-vfs nautilus

In principal will this work?

Regards,

Mark Carey
