 All,
 
 I tried (thru YAST2) to replace glibc-devel (CD ROM)-  didn't help
 (By the way, /usr/include/sys/wait.h  files etc exist)
 
 I sftp'ed  another package,which compiled OK on the old working 8.0 install
 computer -"UPS" to
 the new computer.
 This failed to compile in much the same way on the new computer, i.e. could
 not
 "find"  ANSI header files and <sys/wait.h> files that are in the directory.
 
 So I have a broken install somehow, so
 I tried (thru YAST2) to replace every installed package (DVD) - didn't help.
 
 This implied to me that some configuration file contents are screwing up the
 configure file
 generation, so I re-installed everything over again - this time from a
 reformated harddisk partition.
 
 Insight compiles correctly now.
 
 After all of these iterations, much like the movie "Lola rennt",  I have a
 happy ending.
 Thanks again,
 
 Bob Nee

 The headers are part of glibc-devel.  And the error show that some
 files are missing.  I propose to reinstall glibc-devel.
