There is no userland support for inotify in debian etch (no headers and no syscall wrappers). inotify-tools comes with its own inotify.h and syscall wrappers.

Found a fix for those still having trouble...

two entries need changing could be patched but simple enough to manually edit

in configure script and in inotify.c
change <sys/inotify.h> to <inotifytools/inotify.h>

that will use the correct inotify.h as is in the inotify-tools package...
(note probably should also install inotify-tools package also have not tested without)
