[vox] Errors in software compilation

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi everyone,

I am using a software package called GDAL here at work, and it compiles fine 
on my Debian Sarge box... However, the *same* source tree fails to compile on 
a similar machine running Slackware...

As far as I can tell the configure stage of the compilation works fine, but 
when i call make;

---------------------------error messages--------------------------------
dylan at atmweb:~/src/gdal-1.2.5$ make
(cd port; make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dylan/src/gdal-1.2.5/port'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `default'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dylan/src/gdal-1.2.5/port'
(cd gcore; make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dylan/src/gdal-1.2.5/gcore'
g++     -c -o gdalopen.o gdalopen.cpp

                 from gdalopen.cpp:94:
gdal.h:177:22: cpl_port.h: No such file or directory
gdal.h:178:23: cpl_error.h: No such file or directory

                 from gdalopen.cpp:94:
gdal.h:200: syntax error before `typedef'
....
[more and more and more syntax errors]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it looks like it is breaking after not being able to find two files:
cpl_port.h
cpl_error.h

however:
dylan at atmweb:~/src/gdal-1.2.5$ locate cpl_port
/home/dylan/src/gdal-1.2.5/port/cpl_port.h
....
and
....
dylan at atmweb:~/src/gdal-1.2.5$ locate cpl_error.
/home/dylan/src/gdal-1.2.5/port/cpl_error.h

...would suggest that these files do in fact exist... 

is there something wrong with the include path, or the way in which GCC on 
this machine is looking for header files?

thanks in advance!
