[LAD] completely [ot] - compilation help

Hello folks! I'm soory for posting here, but I hope someone can help me. I'm just compiling a bit of code and gcc gives a strange error, which Ican't fix. Code snippet: [...] if (ioctl (vcsa_fd, KBD_SNIFF_SET, &set) < 0) { sbl_log ("no kernel support for keyboard sniffing\n"); kbd_sniffing = 0; return 0; } else { ... } /* end of snipet */ the reproduceable compiler error says something about the if-statement: kbd.h:96: error: expected ')' before '[' token It does the same for two other ioctl statements, one incuded in an if, the other in an assignment like: value = ioctl (...); My gcc is: gcc 4.2.3 (Debian 4.2.3-3) Please: can someone help me here? It's so frustrating...
