I've stumbled across some code which tries to #include <bsd/signal.h>,
but I get the error message:

/usr/include/bsd/signal.h:7: No include path in which to find signal.h

I get the same error if I try to compile a dummy C-program which
includes this header file:

====begin test.c====
#include <bsd/signal.h>

int main()
{

Quote:}

====end test.c====

% gcc test.c
In file included from test.c:1:
/usr/include/bsd/signal.h:7: No include path in which to find signal.h

This is with kernel version 1.1.54, gcc 2.5.8, libc 4.5.26.  I think
this has to do with the strange #include_next statement at the top of
bsd/signal.h.  Can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks in advance!

        I saw this same sort of problem, and to solve it, I just used
-I/usr/include as a compiler flag.  I know, you really shouldn't _have_ to do
that, and I agree.  It was the only way I could get around it.

        Someone have a better answer?

As far as I can work out from the headers concerned, no program should
include <bsd/signal.h>.  Programs that need BSD signal behaviour
should instead put -I/usr/include/bsd in the gcc command line, so that
when that file does `#include_next <signal.h>' it can find the normal
version.

So, delete the #include line.  If the program needs BSD signal
functions, add -I/usr/include/bsd to the CFLAGS.

Disclaimer: this advice is based on my own experience of compiling
xlockmore, and does not constitute official advice.  I Could Be Wrong!
