It's a non-standard header, no system >should need it anymore. That header is coming from the libxg-dev package, described as "graphics libraries from plan 9." That package isn't part of the default install, but it is available as part of the stable release. You could try a "dpkg --purge libxg-dev" to get rid of it. The moron that came up with the idea was Raul Miller . You should file a Debian bug against the package -- having that incompatible libc.h in /usr/include just seems broken. In any case, since the header can appear in stable release Debian systems, a fix to zsh seems warranted. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
