Description of problem: /usr/include/stropts.h missing from rawhide, but present in fc8 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-headers-2.7.90-12.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. attempt to build graphviz, which uses it. 2. 3. Actual results: build fails due to missing stropts.h Expected results: Additional info:
That's on purpose. Linux doesn't support STREAMS (many years ago it was available as a third party module, but it hasn't worked for years). stropts.h is part of a POSIX XSR option, which Linux now, matching reality, says it is not supported. No idea why graphviz needs it (when all the syscalls are stubbed), but it needs fixing (either by adding configure checks, or by using the POSIX recommended check - #include <unistd.h>, #if defined _XOPEN_STREAMS && _XOPEN_STREAMS == -1 /* XSR option is not available, headers, data types etc. may not be available. */ #endif see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/unistd.h.html for more details).

I'm "reopening" this one the basis that the ioctl(p) provides a whole host of requests/args which, I take it, does not work? Shouldn't there be *some* indication that this actually doesn't work other than just a gaping hole? The man-page is still there.... Also, it's my understanding that some of these requests also applies to pipes/ fifos. I could very well be plain wrong..... Sorry about the rant; I was in the middle of a rather tireing debug-job of a port from solaris when I discovered I had to redo the STREAMS stuff....:/
