I did compile a trivial program that defines a variable of type
fd_set. This compiled without errors:

#include <sys/time.h>

int main()

{

fd_set *readfds;

}

Since the error I get says :Parse error before "fd_set" , and I tried
changing the include in curl.h to use sys/time.h, and that made no
difference, could it be something on the previous line? Here is the
chunk of code, from multi.h. I am looking at this using cscope, but I
have not found anything wrong yet.

CURL_EXTERN CURLMcode curl_multi_fdset(CURLM *multi_handle,
                                       fd_set *read_fd_set,
                                       fd_set *write_fd_set,
                                       fd_set *exc_fd_set,
                                       int *max_fd);
