Sorry it took me so long to get back to this; I don't use Linux 
that often.

For those of you wondering what I'm talking about, I was having 
a problem where the compiler generated an error at my 
application's @interface declaration; it kept thinking it said 
"@interfaces" and was giving me an error even though it said 
"@interface".

Anyway, I traced the problem down to a C header file I was 
including. In Mac OS X's GCC 2.95.2, I can do an include line 
that looks like this:

#include "/Path/To/A/Standard/C/Header.h"

But if I use this line in GCC 2.95.2 on Linux, it somehow reads 
my @interface declaration wrong. Is it maybe the header file, or 
is it GCC? If it's GCC, how do I correct this?
