|In the usbhid-ups driver this line is a no-op, so I suggest to comment

 =============


Thanks for the quick reply.

On OpenBSD 4.8, the errno.h file resides in /usr/include/sys  and
contains the various error number defines up to code 91, but no EPROTO.
 None of the other include files contained EPROTO (according to the
grep results).

I looked at the same file on my FreeBSD 8.1 box, and errno.h contains
the various error number defines up to code 92, which happens to be the
code for EPROTO.


According to the wikipedia entry, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and the various
Linux distributions are "mostly complaint" with POSIX.   I guess
"mostly complaint" means that certain, and differing, bits are not
present, depending upon the particular OS.  
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX#Mostly_POSIX-compliant )


In any case, I commented out the line, as you sugggested and the
compile completed cleanly.

Thanks.
