Comment 1 bill.haneman 2003-01-08 12:47:01 UTC
can you give a little more info on your system setup?

For some reason your XKBlib.h or XKB setup looks abnormal to at-spi, and 
I don't know if we can handle a broken XKB very well ATM.  What
version of XFree86 (or other X server) are you running?
Comment 2 Jim McElwaine 2003-01-08 14:33:44 UTC
I've sent the header file to you directly by email
bash$ xdpyinfo
name of display:    :0.0
version number:    11.0
vendor string:    The XFree86 Project, Inc
vendor release number:    4003

Comment 3 Jim McElwaine 2003-01-08 15:22:10 UTC
XFree86 Version 4.0.3 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400)
Release Date: 16 March 2001
	If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
	newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
	reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.2.19-UP i686 [ELF] 
Comment 4 padraig.obriain 2003-01-17 11:31:29 UTC
I do not think that the warning output by configure are relevant t0
this problem. The compiler errors suggest that the struct timeval is
not defined.

This suggests that there is some problem with the system include
files.
Comment 5 Jim McElwaine 2003-01-20 16:38:18 UTC
I don't think there is a problem with them since all of gnome 2.0.3
(and previous versions) compiles correctly. I can look ion my head
files if you like. Where should timeval be defined? 
Comment 6 padraig.obriain 2003-01-20 16:53:08 UTC
On one Linux system I looked at (running Redhat 7.1) the struct
timeval is defined in /usr/include/bits/time.h.

Normally one would include <time.h>.

Can you produce preprocessor output of the attmpt to compile
deviceeventcontroller.c?
Comment 7 bill.haneman 2003-01-20 16:54:26 UTC
I recall having a problem like this in the past with another module;
it was indeed a configuration issue and not a bug in the module. 
Unfortunately I can't recall the details now.
Comment 8 Jim McElwaine 2003-01-20 18:52:58 UTC
I've sent the preprocessor output
Comment 9 padraig.obriain 2003-01-21 09:33:53 UTC
Does making the following change fix the problem for you?
