Missing curl/types.h

[jeffsilverm]

I am having a problem compiling stormfs-curl.o because curl/types.h is not found.

I have some references to this problem on Google. The recommended solution is to download curl, which I have done. I built curl 7.28.tar.gz. and still no curl/types.h. http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/libcurl3/filelist does not mention types.h

I went to Ubuntu's website and got libcurl4-openssl-dev_7.22.0-3ubuntu4_amd64.deb, but that can't be installed on my configuration:

and that wouldn't help anyway:

jeffsilverman@xyzzy:~/stormfs$ dpkg -c libcurl4-openssl-dev_7.22.0-3ubuntu4_amd64.deb | fgrep type -rw-r--r-- root/root 36048 2012-03-22 23:51 ./usr/include/curl/typecheck-gcc.h jeffsilverman@xyzzy:~/stormfs$

I finally resolved the issue by commenting out #include <curl/types.h> in the file curl.c. Do not confuse <sys/types.h> with <curl/types.h>

Thank you

Types.h hasn't been included in Curl since version 7.20 http://curl.haxx.se/mail/tracker-2011-07/0012.html http://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/1020/ Would like help to recompile the newer versions to include it in a git library. I am a programmer, not a compiler, so this would be a first for me. Any help will be appreciated.

http://curl.haxx.se/download.html The old releases link (http://curl.haxx.se/download/)will take you to the ftp server for curl and you should find a version with types.h (curl) in the archaeology link (http://curl.haxx.se/download/archeology/) up top. I want to learn how to fix missing libraries and any help would be appreciated.
