Can't compile tdfx Driver (solved indirectly)

Hi,

   I am trying to compile the tdfx driver from source as the one in the repos appears to suffer from the bug described here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/x … 17472.html

The configure script has no complaints but gcc bails out:

tdfx_accel.c:907: error: 'struct _TDFXRec' has no member named
'sst2DSrcFmtShadow'
make[2]: *** [tdfx_accel.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/j/src/xf86-video-tdfx-1.2.2/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/j/src/xf86-video-tdfx-1.2.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2

From what I understand, arch packages include header files so I don't think missing xorg headers is the issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit (Solved):  Don't know why I didn't think of this before, but I just grabbed the latest binary from the repository of a different distribution and all is working fine.
