Description John Millikin 2008-10-13 21:56:07 UTC 
According to LKML[1] userspace applications and libraries should include <sys/inofity.h>. Including <linux/inotify.h> causes compilation errors on recent kernels.

Include <sys/inotify.h>

Patch to simply replace the include paths, and remove the unneeded shim header. According to the linked mailing list <sys/inotify.h> has been included for a long time, so I don't think there's a need to retain the compatibility stuff.

Fixed.
