[fernan at pi] grep -rH stdio.h .
./work/blatSrc/lib/md5.c:#include <stdio.h>
./work/blatSrc/inc/common.h:#include <stdio.h>
./work/blatSrc/inc/pipeline.h:#include <stdio.h>

and common.h is extensively included by many .c files,
including:
work/blatSrc/hg/pslPretty/pslPretty.c:#include "common.h"

| somewhere? Is the path to stdio.h set?

Mmmm ... where should this be set?

This makes me think that maybe this is a problem with
the makefile in the hg/pslPretty subdirectory. 

Actually, I have problems with all makefiles in
subdirectories ... as an example I had to patch them all to
define BINDIR, even though this variable was defined in
inc/common.mk and this file was included from all
sub-makefiles. Seems like this (lack of proper inclusion of
common.mk) might be the reason of the problem?

Thanks again for your help,

Fernan
