Shouldn't be.  However, have been using 2.2.x for a while, so I'm not
sure.  It unlikely tho, since I'm sure many people are still running
2.0.36..

Are you sure /usr/include/linux is a symlink to
/usr/src/linux/include/linux?

What glibc version are you running and when did you update your CVS
source last?

----
I did find a solution to the psql.c compiling problem with glibc 2.1.

If you change the
static FILE * cur_cmd_source = stdin;
to
static FILE * cur_cmd_source;

and then add
cur_cmd_source = stdin;
to main() it seems to both compile and work fine.  Maybe I'm too tired to
figure out that static is making a difference in this case :)
