Created attachment 7800 [details] diff between the original time_.h file and one that compiles Hi I could not compile gs 9.04 (either from the git repository or from the sourceforge tar.gz) I think that the error I get might depend on the presence of sys/time.h on my system. Surrounding the struct definition with an "#ifndef _BITS_TIME_H" I was able to compile, but not being an expert I am not sure it is the most correct thing to do. I am attaching a diff file and the config.log. The detailed error was: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/ghostpdl/main' gcc -O2 -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -Wno-strict-aliasing -fno-builtin -fno-common -DHAVE_MKSTEMP -DHAVE_SSE2 -DHAVE_BSWAP32 -DHAVE_BYTESWAP_H -DHAVE_STDINT_H -DGX_COLOR_INDEX_TYPE="unsigned long" -DPCL_INCLUDED -I./obj -I../gs/base -DWHICH_CMS="lcms" -o ./obj/gp_unix.o -c ../gs/base/gp_unix.c In file included from ../gs/base/gp_unix.c:17:0: ../gs/base/pipe_.h:39:1: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes] In file included from ../gs/base/gp_unix.c:19:0: ../gs/base/time_.h:49:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct timeval’ /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/time.h:75:8: note: originally defined here ../gs/base/gp_unix.c: In function ‘gp_get_realtime’: ../gs/base/gp_unix.c:148:9: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘gettimeofday’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

It seems some distributions have moved time.h, which confuses the build. For now you can compile successfully by doing: ./configure make XCFLAGS=-DHAVE_SYS_TIME_H=1 And we'll track the problem under the existing bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 692426 ***
