procps header error building conky-cvs

checking proc/procps.h usability... no
checking proc/procps.h presence... no
checking for proc/procps.h... no
checking proc/readproc.h usability... no
checking proc/readproc.h presence... no
checking for proc/readproc.h... no
configure: error: something went wrong when checking for procps, you're probably missing the necessary headers

why's that then?  There are no procps headers on my system - at gentoo they said the error was a configure error:

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-35 … rocps.html

but i'm not much good at trouble shooting configure scripts

I submitted a bug and it will be fixed in next procps pkg. see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=14108 for a modified procps PKGBUILD

Re: procps header error building conky-cvs

Sorry, snowman, I should have checked to see if it had affected the normal build but based on the gentoo forums stuff I just assumed it was a CVS bug.  I looked at procps and wondered if it should include the headers, I guess my  this answers my question.  Thanks for the quick answer snowman
