Re: you write centos 6.3, but it's running kernel 2.6.18. That can't be right Indeed, it is not right. I meant to say Centos 6.3, kernel version 2.6.32. Apologies. Re: Try adding a <sys/stat.h> include to fio.h No joy. Same compilation error But..... I found the web pages: http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/x264-devel/2011-June/008563.html http://lifecs.likai.org/2009/06/multiple-definition-of-extern-inline.html which says to add the compiler flag "-fgnu89-inline" (because of an issue where old glibc libraries aren't compatible with "the c99 standard"). I added the compilation flag (adding it just after the "-std=gnu99" option) and the compilation errors went away. All done here. Thanks the help.
