Re: Problems compiling Totem (GARNOME 2.10.0) on RH9

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Some of the kernel include files under RH9 are broken. Specifically,
some of the declarations found in <linux/types.h> are available only
when "__KERNEL__" is defined.  Many of these have been fixed in later
releases.

For now, the workaround is to define the missing symbols. Arbitrarily
defining "__KERNEL__" is *not* the right thing to do and will cause even
more problems. You can add the missing declarations in a "heavy-handed
way", or work your way through the nested include files to find "the
right spot" to add the declarations. If you choose to hunt, things like

 	gcc -E

and

	gcc -E -dN 

and

	 gcc -E -dM

will be helpful.
