Hi
I compiled the following code with gcc under FC2 :

#include <asm/semaphore.h>
main()
{
    struct semaphore sum;

}

It doesn't compile, saying "storage size of `sem'
isn't known".

and I looked inside asm/semaphore.h, I saw:
#ifndef I386_SEMAPHORE_H
#define I386_SEMAPHORE_H

#include <linux/linkage.h>

#endif

Did I missed something? Please guide me how to fix it.

Sincerely

You're trying to use a kernel data structure in a user-space program. 
Don't. The definitions in that header are inside #ifdef __KERNEL__ and 
so the provided userspace headers remove that part.
