Compilation errors with thrift and hypertables using c_glib

[Paul Pankhurst <pa...@crocodile-rcs.com>]

Hi

I am trying to use hypertables via the thrift interface, on Centos 5.

I can build thrift without any problems, and it generates the code (using –gen c_glib) for the Client.thrift and Hql.thrift definitions for hypertables with no problems.
However when I try to compile the c source files that are generated I get a heap load of errors:

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is here?
I have tried with both the 0.7.0 and 0.8.0-dev versions of thrift and the result is the same.
Incidentally I am using the prebuilt hypertables rpm 0.9.5.0.

Many Thanks
