Re: build of PolickyKit fails on Debian Etch, Garnome 2.22.1

["Martin Wenzlick" <mwenzlick gmail com>]

Solution:
Package "inotify-tools" installed.
Make these symlinks:
ln -s /usr/include/inotifytools/inotify.h /usr/include/sys/inotify.h
ln -s /usr/include/inotifytools/inotifytools.h /usr/include/sys/inotify-nosys.h
PolicyKit now builds.

Thanks for pointing that out Pat.
I have worked around it for now by removing PolicyKit and ConsoleKit as a dependancy for hal, and got as far as a nice Garnome desktop. Consequences remain to be seen.

I've dealt with inotify on Etch. I believe the issue is that Debian didn't provide the inotify header -- glibc versioning has little to do with the headers in sys/, since those are meant to match the kernel structures.

You should be able to grab just the header from another system and throw it in. It might not actually work at runtime, but it should build.
