it's more complicated, see the README in libfixposix.

also, i'd recommend adding this section to the README of iolib:



* Dependencies
IOLib depends on a library called libfixposix available at
(http://gitorious.org/libfixposix/libfixposix). It's a C library meant
to unify POSIX behavior across various unix machines, and it needs to
be compiled and installed seperately from IOLib.

git clone git://gitorious.org/libfixposix/libfixposix.git

Follow its instruction about the install procedure.

ps: keep in mind: the utility of writing a concise answer in the
README and sending a pointer is always higher than the utility of a
mail answering a single occurrence of an issue...
