[Valgrind-users] Compilation problem on Slackware 10

[Lars E. T. <tho...@gm...>]

Hi there, I have some problems compiling valgrind 2.1.2 on a Slackware
10 system.

gcc 3.3.4 (posix thread model)
kernel 2.6.7
glibc 2.3

I get some warnings from ./configure:

checking linux/mii.h usability... no
checking linux/mii.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: linux/mii.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: linux/mii.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: linux/mii.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: linux/mii.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: linux/mii.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: linux/mii.h: in the future, the compiler will take
precedence
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists.  ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------ ##
checking for linux/mii.h... yes
checking for uid_t in sys/types.h... yes

If I try to compile anyway, i'll get the following error:

make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/valgrind/coregrind'

I'd appreciate any tips to help me resolve the problem. Thanks.
