--- Begin Message ---I've used source both from upstream and via apt-get. The only thing that changes is in which .c the error shows up first.

That is the error which occurs in all three lines here (and also once in get_blocks.c. Has anyone else run across this? It looks like a problem in the _IOR and _IOW macros. I'm not subscribed to the list, but I'll check back via the web archive. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Dale Amon amon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx +44-7802-188325 International linux systems consultancy Hardware & software system design, security and networking, systems programming and Admin "Have Laptop, Will Travel" ------------------------------------------------------ - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
