Under Linux, the setfsgid function used by the gnome-score.c code 
allows it to minimise the permissions needed to read the score 
files used by gnome. The prototype for this function is in sys/fsuid.h.

Your error messages suggest that your configure script is setting the
HAVE_SETFSGID macro in config.h because gnome-score.c does not try 
including fsuid.h unless this macro is set (unless you are compiling
a very weird copy of gnome-score.c!). configure should only set 
this macro when your system supports the setfsgid function.

However, I thought setfsgid was unique to Linux and always had
its prototype in sys/fsuid.h.

What system are you compiling on ?

Where is the prototype for setfsgid included among your system's 
include files ?
