[Spread-users] [PATCH] spreadlogd compile problem (was: Unable to install spreadlogd on FC 5)

[Peter Poeml]

Hi!

This is a followup to a very old message, from 2007, about a compile
problem with spreadlogd:
http://www.spread.org/pipermail/spread-users/2007-May/003326.html

I ran into the same issue today, using a tarball I found at
http://www.backhand.org/mod_log_spread/spreadlogd.tar.gz 
and which contains a "spreadlogd-2.0.0" directory dated 2006.

I am attaching a patch which fixes the problem for me.

The problem was that the packaged perl.h header file #defines I32 int,
which the system perl.h expect to define itself. Changing the header
include order to include the system perl.h first solves this.

Thanks,
Peter
