Hi! I'm trying to run Kylix 3 (open edition) on a Linux Slackware system, but it gives me wierd errors:

*** 26 errors in Compile ***

Line 46 in stdio.h is:
typedef struct _IO_FILE FILE;

This stdio.h file is used just fine by g++, but bc++ can't deal with it. Am I missing something here about installing Kylix properly? My program is a simple Hello, World! program.

*snip*

Did you move /usr/include to the front of the path in the
Directories/Conditionals dialog?
