How can I resolve "cid_t" and "msg_perm'" error

[xinm]

Hi:
When I compile a pro*c program,It happens errors:
...........
/usr/include/sys/ipc.h:51: error: parse error before "cid_t"
/usr/include/sys/ipc.h:56: error: parse error before '}' token
...........
/usr/include/sys/msg.h:93: error: field `msg_perm' has incomplete type

MY Program s Environment:
machine : ia64 hp server rx4640
OS info:
sysname = HP-UX
release = B.11.23
>gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/ia64-hp-hpux11.23/3.4.2/specs
Configured with: /scratch/njs/pkgbuild/3.3.1/hpux-11/gcc-3.4.2/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-threads=posix --with-gnu-as --without-gnu-ld --with-as=/usr/local/bin/as --prefix=/usr/local
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.2

I hope somebody can help me.
Thanks!

Is this a pro*c error or a gcc error?

Does your program work with HP's bundled C compiler after you remove your SQL stuff?
Does it work with gcc?

Can you created a .i file with -E? (Then look at line 51 in ipc.h.)

[Steven Schweda · Accepted solution]

Have you upgraded the OS since GCC was
installed? In some cases, this can cause
problems with the header files. (New header
files for the OS, but old ones for GCC.)
Re-installing GCC should fix the problem (if
that is the problem).

Rats I thought those errors looked familiar. I was going to search but forgot. Here some threads that show the same errors:

Actual research? Whoa. I just assume that
any complaints about any header files are
caused by the one thing which bit me once.

If nothing else, rebuilding GCC takes so much
time that you can look into many other
possibilities while it's working on that job.
(As a general rule, wherever I find a GCC
binary kit, I don't trust it any further than
using it to build GCC from a source kit.
Call me skeptical. Then the only problem is
remembering to do it all again after anything
happens to change the system header files.)

to Dennis Handly:
It makes with gcc,complete error info is:

Proc program makes error

[xinm]

When I make program with "gcc -E",there is no a ".i" file have been created,it errors in the compiling duration.Then I check the ipc.h file "
# ifdef _INCLUDE_HPUX_SOURCE
cid_t cid; /* Compartment ID */
# else
int __cpad; /* pad for non-hp code */
# endif /* _INCLUDE_HPUX_SOURCE */
char pad[12];/* room for future expansion */
};
# define _IPCPERM_T
",
line 51 is:cid_t cid;
line 56 is:};

Thanks all!

>When I make program with "gcc -E", there is no ".i" file have been created,

You have to capture stdout.

>Then I check the ipc.h file

You have to compare the ipc.h file with the fragment in the preprocessed file.

Did you take a look at the links I gave or what Steven suggested?

Thanks ALL!

I make this program with "gcc version 4.0.4",then success!

Thanks All!
