## If you replaced Slackware's 'kernel-headers' 2.4.31 package with the
## 2.6.13 one from 'testing', you may want to go back to 2.4.31
## The build failed for me with the 2.6.13 package installed with these
## errors:
# In file included from joydevice.h:27,
#                  from joystick.cpp:29:
# /usr/include/linux/joystick.h:131: error: `__s64' does not name a type
# /usr/include/linux/joystick.h:132: error: `__s64' does not name a type
# In file included from joydevice.h:27,
#                  from joystick.cpp:29:
# /usr/include/linux/joystick.h:142:2: #error Unexpected BITS_PER_LONG
## ...but it was fine with the 2.4.31 headers.  You can also probably
## mess with joystick.h instead, but I didn't.
