Riddles in the dark

[Tommy McCabe <rocketjet314@yahoo.com>]

ps.c can't compile because of these errors:

/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:25.29: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:36.16: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:37.16: error: seg_t
already declared
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:37.16: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:50.24: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:51.22: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:52.23: error: __pptr

/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:52.23: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:53.21: error: __pptr

/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:53.21: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:54.21: error: __pptr
already declared
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:54.21: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:92.25: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:131.21: error: need
';'

Note that the file linuxmt/sc doesn't exist- I assume
it to be linxumt/sched.h. The compiler thinks seg_t is
a variable name but it's a variable type. Is ps.c
itself, I see this: int read_task(fd, off, ds,
task_table). What the heck is this? A function
declaration? An array? It looked as if it should have
a semicolon put after it, but then ps.c returned these
errors:

ps.c:30.1: error: need variable name
ps.c:31.9: error: need ';'
ps.c:34.7: error: addr already declared
ps.c:34.40: error: initializer too complicated
ps.c:35.3: error: need variable name
ps.c:35.5: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.6: error: need ')'
ps.c:35.6: error: need variable name
ps.c:35.7: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.14: error: need ')'
ps.c:35.14: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.14: error: need variable name
ps.c:35.20: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.30: error: need ')'
ps.c:35.30: error: lseek already declared
ps.c:35.30: error: need '{'
ps.c:35.32: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.32: error: bad expression
ps.c:35.33: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.33: error: bad expression
ps.c:35.34: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.34: error: bad expression
ps.c:35.36: error: need ';'

And back at linuxmt/sched.h, it ends with a #endif
which isn't preceded by a #indef! What gives?
