Hi,

This is on a 64-bit 6.2 version of Scientific Linux.

I was trying to build a 2.17 version of pygtk2 for some of our
users but was failing. I then tried to rebuild the original SRPM
pygtk2-2.16.0-3.el6.src.rpm and got the same error:

$ rpmbuild --rebuild pygtk2-2.16.0-3.el6.src.rpm

It would appear that this is caused by a patch from TUV.  It can
be worked around by adding the following line to the file
/usr/include/python2.6/modsupport.h after line 10 (#include <stdarg.h>):

#include <sys/types.h>

The same fix also allows me to build the 2.17 version, but we were
wondering how the RPM managed to get built for SL without this
modification?
