Cygwin - configure: error: Required header <rpc/types.h> not found

Cygwin - configure: error: Required header <rpc/types.h> not found

[Gery .]

Hello,

I received a SUNRPC error after running ./configure on version 5.4.2220 in Cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-6.3-WOW64 gery 1.7.32(0.274/5/3) 2014-08-13 23:03 i686 Cygwin), here it is:

    configure: error: Required header <rpc/types.h> not found, check include path and intsalled devel packages

SUNRPC (as well as libtirpc) is located in my Cygwin system:

    Gery@gery /opt/mb/mbsystem-5.4.2220
    $ cygcheck -c | grep rpc
    libgssrpc4                                   1.12.2-1                         OK
    libtirpc-common                              0.2.4-1                          OK
    libtirpc-debuginfo                           0.2.4-1                          OK
    libtirpc-devel                               0.2.4-1                          OK
    libtirpc1                                    0.2.4-1                          OK
    php-xmlrpc                                   5.5.18-1                         OK
    rpcgen                                       2.11.90_20100818-1               OK
    sunrpc                                       4.0-4                            OK

Any idea to solve this configure error? I mean, a solution that doesn't involve upgrading cygwin to the latest version, I just don't want to reinstall everything again.

Any support is welcomed, thanks in advance,

Gery

Add "CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/tirpc" to your configure flags.

Please note that we do not support old versions of Cygwin, nor does
upgrading to the currently supported version require "reinstalling
everything".

Thanks Yaakov for the quick reply,

sorry for the long lines =)

Thanks, but the problem remains. MB-System (the software I try to install) complains about rpc/:

I always knew that I must reinstall all software (those that don't come 
with cygwin by default, e.g., PostGIS) after upgrading to the latest cygwin version (ie.
download the latest setup*.exe and perform the upgrade). I just found these steps:

wget http://apt-cyg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/apt-cyg
chmod +x apt-cyg
mv apt-cyg /usr/local/bin/
apt-cyg install PACKAGE-NAME-HERE

would these steps correctly update specific packages?

Thanks again,

Gery
