Re: SOLVED!! :) error building gettext (was error building gtk+)

[Peter Petrakis <peterpan wn net>]

This is soooo cool, It's my first hack :)! In stdio.h it was redefining
some things gettext was defining and thus the error. I fixed by editing
stdio.h and commenting these lines starting at line 203. Thanks Brandon.

#ifdef __USE_GNU
  /*
extern _IO_ssize_t getdelim __P ((char **, size_t *, int, FILE*));
extern _IO_ssize_t getline __P ((char **, size_t *, FILE *));
extern _IO_ssize_t __getline __P ((char **, size_t *, FILE *));
 
*/                                                                         

Gettext went on to compile and install perfectly :). Now on to GTK+!
