Missing X11 includes

I'm trying to compile a video driver, but I get the following error:

sis.h:63:24: error: xf86_ansic.h: No such file or directory

Is there a packages with this or should I get the X11 sources?

Let everyone know what you're trying to compile. I'll bet someone has an answer.

It is a SiS driver for the X from this webpage http://ncc-1701a.homelinux.net/~linux-s … =Downloads , the issue happens with the intel patched version and Barros Lee.

Re: Missing X11 includes

i have a intel d201gly2 motherboard which has a SIS 662 vga that doesn't work well with the current sis driver and xorg-server. as far as the new xorg-server doesn't provide xf86_ansic.h i have decided to downgrade my xorg-server packages to have xf86_ansic.h and compile a working driver.
by reading this guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages i have runned (sorry about my broken english) the following command against every of the xorg-server packages in my /var/cache/pacman/pkg directory :
tar tvf xorg-server-(versionnumber)-i686.pkg.tar.gz | grep xf86_ansic.h
it turns out that the highest version number in my /var/cache/pacman/pkg which includes xf86_ansic.h was 1.4.2-2, i installed it with pacman -Udf and then i could compile the driver in post #4 in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=728147
i don't have vertical noise anymore but no mplayer xv fullscreen, must investigate it but i will do this week end.
for a long time i have not upgraded my system so you could have a more recent version of xorg-server providing xf86_ansic.h. if you have nothing i can send you xorg-server-1.4.2-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz, if you have a more recent version i would be glad to know where to find it. if you have the same sis 662 and find a better driver let me know, please.
i will never mess with sis anymore!!

edit got mplayer xv fullscreen working removing the following options from xorg.conf:
    Option "EnableSiSCtrl" "yes"
    Option "XvDefaultAdaptor" "Blitter"

Re: Missing X11 includes

reading this thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=489360 i've downgraded libgl too, to version libgl-7.0.3-2-i686 and maybe it could be needed to downgrade hal to version hal-0.5.11-4-i686.pkg.tar.gz.
if requested i can upload these packages on rapidshare o some similar service.
hope this can help someone.
