Re: (OT) installing cairo library

Actually I am repeatedly getting these type of errors on almost every line of cairo-xlib-surface.c file.
Any help will be very welcome

Not sure that this can be categorised as "help", but note that the error occurs in cairo-xlib-surface-private.h, *not* cairo-xlib-surface.c.

Do you get any previous warnings that a .h file could not be found ?

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob, No, I didn't get any warnings that .h file not found. But I got this error: cairo-xlib-surface-private.h:91: error: syntax error before "XTransform" cairo-xlib-surface-private.h:91: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union cairo-xlib-surface.c:83: error: syntax error before "identity" cairo-xlib-surface.c:83: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `identity' cairo-xlib-surface.c:83: warning: braces around scalar initializer cairo-xlib-surface.c:83: warning: (near initialization for `identity') cairo-xlib-surface.c:84: warning: braces around scalar initializer And so on for almost every line in cairo-xlib-surface.c . Thanks, Krishi	[reply]

No, I didn't get any warnings that .h file not found. Well, that's odd. Line 91 simply contains: `XTransform xtransform;` [download] which is certainly not a syntax error if a header file that defines the XTransform type was found. And Google doesn't return anything for "cairo-xlib-surface-private.h:91". I think Joost is right :-) Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
