madwifi modules errors

Hello!
I have been trying to install madwifi, however, when I type make I get some compilation errors.

Code:
...
/home/luis/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6/ath_hal/uudecode.c:193: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'fprintf'
/home/luis/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6/ath_hal/uudecode.c:194: warning: format '%s' expects type 'char *', but argument 4 has type 'int'
/home/luis/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6/ath_hal/uudecode.c:195: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'exit'
/home/luis/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6/ath_hal/uudecode.c:199: warning: implicit declaration of function 'read_stduu'

make: *** [modules] Error 2
root@luis-laptop:/home/luis/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6#
What can I do to solve this problem?


Thanks in advance

It is difficult to help without knowing the Linux distribution that you are using. Judging from the name of the kernel, I would guess that it is Ubuntu.

Another forum member had the same problem We solved it by installing the glibc-headers. This was in Fedora, and you can read the thread here:

I don't know what the package is called in Ubuntu, assuming that is what you have.
