This is a bug report copied from question #60461
Whilst compiling libecap-0.0.2 on a 2.6.23-1 Debian host I made the following observations/amendments to the process in order for it to compile without error.
To avoid the warning about failing to find iostream.h, I supplied the configure script with --enable-std-include=/usr/include/c++/4.2/backward/. I'm not sure if this is needed though.
Running make returns the following output:

I got it to compile by adding #include <climits.h> to name.cc. Again, I'm really not sure if this is going to impact other things, but at least it compiled. yay!
You changes are probably correct. Will polish #includes.
