strange error!

[Sheldon]

Good day,

I came across this error during compilation of my program:
*******************************************
cc -g -I/local_disk/opt/HLHDF/0_49/include -I/usr/include -c
msgpps_functions.c
In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:34,
from msgpps_functions.c:10:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.3.2/include/stddef.h:213:
error: syntax error before "typedef"
make: *** [msgpps_functions.o] Error 1
*******************************************

What is strange is that I have not edited the standard library at all
so what can give me an error in the standard library?

Any ideas?

Thanks

/Sheldon

I would look at any defines that occur before the standard headers are
included.

A define that conflicts with the names of standard types such as, for
example:

#define size_t

can make a subsequent type definition in a standard header illegal.

Fantastic Brian,
You are a genius!
It was a letter that at the very beginning of the file. One of things
that happen when you think that are writing in the active window.

Much obliged!

Sadly not, just someone who has been bitten by the same problem :-(
