--- Comment #8 from David A. Denny <david_denny at verizon dot net> ---
Hi Joseph,
Sorry to go lights out - many things going on, for months.
Your advice was spot on, and I have finally found out my mistake.
I had created a symlink from /usr/include to /usr/local/include because I just
want a flatter system. For me, somethings things will "accidentally" wind up
in /usr/local instead of /usr and then there are version conflicts. It seemed
like a good thing at the time but now turns out to be a terrible mistake. Once
I removed the symlink, all worked perfectly.
I can honestly say that I've battled with this issue, only apparent in the
build of glibc, for years! Funny how such a simple thing can cause such a
convoluted outcome.
Many thanks for your help!
Best regards,
David
