hmmm... /usr/local/include is in the compile line... but not /usr/include.... I will try 
that!

|You're correct in general. I have Solaris 2.6 with gcc 2.8.1 and that one
|doesn't even have sys subdirectory. That's again not the exact version,
|so it doesn't prove anything. However, I have a pretty good understanding
|of Solaris OS include files on 2.6 and later versions, because I had to.
|
|So, based on my experience, I'd say that the include files are OK for C.
|The collisions happen with g++ include files, because of internal usage
|in g++ include files, so it's necessary to wrap OS include files.
|But it's not because the OS include files are broken. I had some
|problems of this kind with my 2.95.1 and C++ programs, meaning some
|additional files should be wrapped (maybe they are in 2.95.2), but never
|with C code.
|
|This doesn't help, because it's speculation. Now, Haydn said he still
|had problems, but that's not very helpful. So, Haydn, is -I/usr/include
|present on the compile line or not?
