Here's the story.

By the magic of aptitude, I installed a package that wanted udev, and
as a result got rid of hotplug by accident. So I removed this package
(can't remember what it was, nothing terribly important), reinstalled
hotplug and thought nothing of it.

A bit later, however, I noticed that my USB modem wasn't firmware-ing
properly when I plugged it in. So I assumed (rather uninformedly) that
after reinstalling hotplug, the eagle-usb thing hadn't registered with
it properly. Ha ha ha thinks I, I'll just reinstall the modem driver.
Bad move: I'd forgotten the hell it took to make it work in the first
place. Unfortunately I only remembered this *after* 'make uninstall'.
Next, various gcc version conflicts got in my way; managed to sort
them out reasonably OK-ly. Now I have 3.3.5 symlinked to /usr/bin/gcc,
same as the kernel. All fine. Eagle-usb now ./configures correctly.

But I get some weird stuff while makeing. FIrst few things (DSP codes)
compile fine, but it gets stuck on compiling eaglectrl. Error I get is
(not exactly since for obvious reasons I'm on windows now and can't
copy & paste between) syntax error in
/usr/include/asm-i486/bitops.h:244.

Any reason for this? I guess (again uninformedly...) some kind of
libc6 versioin problem? Or something? :S

Thanks. :-)

ISTR that hotplug was removed, when udev was installed, because udev
now includes the hotplug feature.

Yep, I guess it does....

apt-cache show udev
Description: /dev/ and hotplug management daemon
udev is a daemon which dynamically creates and removes device nodes
from /dev/, handles hotplug events and loads drivers at boot time.

Might that be your problem?

If you're running Etch (stable), the release notes say that udev is
required now. udev conflicts with hotplug since it provides the same
service.
