The pre-release of glibc 2.2 that came with RH 7.0 has fpos_t as a struct. I assume Debian 2.4 is also now using the new glibc. However, they must have something funny since it does not seem to pass the test: > # if __GLIBC__ == 2 && __GLIBC_MINOR__ >= 2 > # define G__NONSCALARFPOS2 > # endif Specifically __GLIBC_MINOR__ >= 2. Could you check the headers on your Debian system to see what GLIBC_MINOR is and let me know so I can refine the test. Cheers, Fons.
