Re: gnome-print problems

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

It looks like one of the structure members in the xmlParserCtxt structure
of libxml is called errno.  Your C library defines this as a macro (for
threading purposes), which is causing the error while parsing the header.

The two possible fixes are (1) change the name of the structure member in
libxml or (2) include the libxml headers before errno.h in gnome-print.
It is worth fixing this because quite a lot of people have C libraries
that define errno as a macro.

James.
