When We install a compiler e.g. XLC 8, on our box, a
whole set of include files get installed in /usr/vacpp/include.

Now, when I am compiling a c++ program using this compiler,
should I be first including this directory in my include
path ( xlc -I/usr/vacpp/include ) explicitly..?

I trid this and getting some compile errors. These errors
go away when I do not explicitly include this dir in my
include path.

Not sure, if should debug my errors or simply not include
this directry in my include path..

Thanks

It would help us to respond to your problem if you posted the errors rather than just saying you had "some". By saying the errors "go away" do you mean that the compiler produces an executable that runs as you expect? If so then I'm not sure you really have a problem to solve here. If not perhaps you could tell us what does happen.

When I say 'go away', I mean that
the program compiles and runs fine. My question is two-fold.

1. Should I be explicitly including the include directory
/usr/vacpp/include and /usr/vac/include in my include path..?

If the answer is no, then rest of my question has no
meaning.
2. If the answer is yes or ok to do, then the errors
are worth looking into. That's the reason, I did not list
the errors right away. The sample errors are as shown
below. Essentially, the define HUGE_VAL has conflicts
in the math.h in /usr/vac/include and the one
in /usr/include.

Given 1) I believe that 2) is irrelevant. If your program compiles and runs without the vacpp headers then don't worry about the error messages.

FWIW
