Hello,
I'm running a very current RedHat 5.0 system (uses glibc), with process accounting. I've noted that in 2.1.x, the userland process accounting tools are seriously broken (due to changes in the format of the pacct file, I believe). I have tracked the problem to the existance of <linux/acct.h> and <sys/acct.h>. On my machine both are present. I've looked through the source to acct, and it appears that the build process prefers <sys/acct.h> over <linux/acct.h>, and this is what is causing the incompatibility. I have rebuilt acct with <sys/acct.h> temporarily unavailable, and now acct tools all work like a charm. My question is, what is the right solution? Should the acct package preference the Linux includes over the <sys> ones?
thanks, -bp -- B. James Phillippe <bryan@terran.org> Linux Software Engineer, WGT Inc. http://w3.terran.org/~bryan
