Did mostly a basic install of Slack 9.0, no XFree, no QT, just the
requirements plus a few basic extras I didn't want to compile. Installed
XFree 4.3.0, and downloaded the QT 3.2.0, however, for some reason one of
my paths must be set incorrectly and I just can't figure out how to correct
it... When looking for includes.. here's an excerpt of one of the error
messages:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/3.2.2/include/limits.h:132:74:
limits.h: No such file or directory
In file included from /usr/local/qt/include/qtextstrem.h:44,
In file included from /usr/local/qt/include/qtl.h:43,
In file included from /usr/local/qt/include/qvaluelist.h:42,
In file included from /usr/local/qt/include/qstringlist.h:42,
from project.h:39
from project.cpp:36:

Goes on to be unable to find the includes for stdio, types and a few others
before the ./configure quits from errors... Doing a find limits.h, etc
finds those files in the directories it pointed to above... So I'm rather
confused.. I've compared and recompared the directory above to the one it
gives me with I use find... and they are identical... Any help?

This is what is written at the error location:

#ifdef _GCC_NEXT_LIMITS_H
#include_next <limits.h> /* recurse down to the real one */
#endif

<limits.h> should probably be interpreted as /usr/include/limits.h

Does that file exist?

/usr/include/limits.h does not exist, however...
/usr/include/linux/limits.h

As a side note, not all of the includes exist in /usr/include/linux...
stdio.h does not for example, it exists only in the /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-
slackware-linux/3.2.2/include/stdio.h

[include]# cd /usr/include
[include]# ls -l limits.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4550 May 20 20:44 limits.h

[packages]# grep "limits.h" *
glibc-2.3.1-i386-4:usr/include/limits.h

You do have that package installed?

You have failed to install glibc-2.3.1-i386-4

You have also failed to make config|menuconfig|xconfig in /usr/src/linux.

LOL yea.. The moment I read your reply I realized I forgot to install
glibc... thanks :)

There is a limits.h in both the gcc and kernel-headers packages.
