Re: trouble building garnome 10.0.1 (hal related)

I got the same problem. I traced it to a missing define:
/usr/include/linux/fs.h is included in the check for BLKGETSIZE64, and
that file uses the typedef pgoff_t.
It is in /usr/include/linux/types.h, but only available there for the
kernel.
This only happens if your /usr/include/linux is a link to the kernel
includes (which I think is bad, since it introduces dependencies based
on the kernel version...):
> l /usr/include/linux
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 28 Dec 16 12:38 /usr/include/linux ->
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/
I'm using kernel 2.6.10, btw.:
l /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 12 Feb 13 18:28 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.10/

My workaround was to just add the define:
--- configure.orig      2005-01-24 18:46:24.000000000 -0800
+++ configure   2005-03-20 11:21:25.000000000 -0800
