Check where the file is located. Do you have it on disk? In one of include directories? What OS do you use?
 


I didn't find it where can i download this file ?
 


I use Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 but evry time i use this HEADER FILE it show me that error
 


What do you need the file for? It appears to be a *nix specific header.

And for that matter, why are you using such an old IDE?
 


i don't know really but i buy that progam i think some file are missing
