signal.h: compiler are not able to find it

I need a help. When I try to compile an aur package (I haven't tried with other package) I get always the same error: enable to find signal.h and the compilation is aborted.

Somebody can help me? I've no idea what to do. The headers are installed correctly and, if I do a search, there a lot of signal.h, but the compiler is not able to find it. I'm talking about gcc.

Thank you!

Are you talking about a specific AUR package. If so which one?

Post the output. All of it. Use pastebin or an attachment if it's too big.

@gripped, forgive me for the delay to answer, but I was a little bit busy. I can report you the last two:

Thank you. Francesco

Not sure why it's not working but can tell you this.
They are C++ programs

The following command will show you where g++ is looking for signal.h
Code: [Select]
echo | g++ -v -E -x c++ -

Of interest is the output between:
#include "..." search starts here:
....
....
End of search list.


In my case it's
Quote
#include <...> search starts here:
 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14.2.1/../../../../include/c++/14.2.1
 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14.2.1/../../../../include/c++/14.2.1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14.2.1/../../../../include/c++/14.2.1/backward
 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14.2.1/include
 /usr/local/include
 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14.2.1/include-fixed
 /usr/include
End of search list.
On my system it's the last of these  /usr/include which includes a signal.h
This file is provided by glibc
Code: [Select]
pacman -Qo /usr/include/signal.h
/usr/include/signal.h is owned by glibc 2.40+r16+gaa533d58ff-2

@gripped: I've the same results, but simply the compiler is not able to find signal.h. I don't understand why, its the first time, after many years, that I've a similar problem, but I discover that in /usr/local there isn't signal.h!!!

I try to reinstall glib. Thank you

To reinstall glibc solved the problem and signal.h appear, like a miracle ;-)

Thank you!!!

That's a strange issue with the signal.h header. Have you tried checking your include paths or installing the 'base-devel' package group? That might help resolve any missing library dependencies.
