Ahh, okay, looking further up the output cmake cannot find:

sys/types.h
stdint.h
stddef.h

So I need to locate these files for gcc 4.5.2 and somehow inform CMake,
is that correct?




For completeness here is the complete output requested:

I used gcc_select, a script that manages all the symbolic links.   So CMake finds gcc, g++ etc in the appropriate locations.  I get the same error with 2.8.4 as follows:
