problem #including <lvm2ap.h> using cvs

I want to start putting the lvm library in my app but have run into a snag. When I put the line:

#include <lvm2app.h>

in my program, I get the following error:

In file included from /usr/include/lvm2app.h:17,

/usr/include/libdevmapper.h:1025: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘...’ before ‘private’
/usr/include/libdevmapper.h:1047: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘...’ before ‘private’

The relevant portion of libdevmapper.h look like this:

struct dm_report_field_type {

        uint32_t type;          /* object type id */
        uint32_t flags;         /* DM_REPORT_FIELD_* */
        uint32_t offset;        /* byte offset in the object */
        int32_t width;          /* default width */
        const char id[32];      /* string used to specify the field */

const char heading[32]; /* string printed in header */ int (*report_fn)(struct dm_report *rh, struct dm_pool *mem,
struct dm_report_field *field, const void *data, void *private);
const char *desc; /* description of the field */
};

I am running Debian unstable in 64 bits. Any Idea what I am doing wrong here?

Thank you.

Not without seeing the code up to the point of the error. Sometimes the output of 'gcc -E' or language-specific syntax highlighting modes of editors help you to see what's going wrong.

The code was simply the include statement itself, it was at the top of the file.

#include <lvm2app.h>

I haven't tried to actually use the library yet.

Are you using g++ instead of gcc to compile? The code block I'm looking at looks like C code, but that error is C++.
