Yes, those packages are installed. Thanks. :)

However, the patch from Francois is related to your question.

locate prtypes
/usr/include/seamonkey-2.0.14/prtypes.h
/usr/include/seamonkey-2.0.14/nspr/prtypes.h

The files are one and the same. The file size is 18744 bytes.

The problem seems to be in jni_md.h where:

#include <nspr/prtypes.h> /* needed for _declspec */

that the nspr directory is under /usr/include/seamonkey-2.0.14 (sym linked to /usr/include/seamonkey) rather than directly under /usr/include.

I modified the patch:

-#include <nspr/prtypes.h> /* needed for _declspec */
+#include <seamonkey/prtypes.h> /* needed for _declspec */

The package built without incident.

Note: I have to use autoreconf -fiv rather than autoreconf.

Thank you both.

Why is this stuff so doggone hard...?

P.S. I propose we update the README file to include this information.
