Public bug reported:
Some system header files are not contained in directories /usr/include resp.
/usr/include/linux
Instead they are only to be found in
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-*/include/linux
This applies to e.g. sys.h. or zlib.h, but might apply to several others
as well.
This causes programs which - rightfully - expect to find them in
/usr/include or in /usr/include/linux to fail to compile.
I regard this to be a bug, and would propose to correct this situation
in the next maintenance release of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
Obviously, there is a workaround by creating appropriate links by hand;
but it's equally obvious, that this is a dangerous thing to do when
failing to update these links with system upgrades.
I'm using release Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS, kernel version 2.6.24-26-generic,
on i686 32-bit hardware.
