Hi Niagara,

Please give us a bit more information like the Linux version and distro.

Eg.
rkwiles at rkwiles-supermicro:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 15.10
Release:	15.10
Codename:	wily

I am going to assume your Linux distribution does not have sys/cdefs.h in the same location as other distros. Please run a find on your system and see if cdefs.h is located some place else in the system then /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h


Thanks
