I2C: Getting Compiation Error for application program

[Sachin Rane]

Hello Matthias,
 
Thanks for the reply.
 
I got the reason from i2c mailing list on getting compilation errors. 
 
A text from the I2C mailing list :
8<---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"All the above it caused by you including <linux/i2c.h>. As explained
before, this is a kernel-only header file, which you must _not_ include
in user-space code. You are not the only one to blame though, as in
fact this header file should not be in /usr/include at all, this is a
mistake which should be fixed "soon". "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->8
 
Some of the error lines are appended for your reference.
 
Now I will do the changes in the code as per above above suggestion.
 
Tnaks and Regards,
Sachin Rane

It's always helpful to see the compiler output. Could you post it?

Are you crosscompiling? Doesn't look like that...

You propably have to use 0x50 here.
