[SOLVED] Error : sys\stat.h: No such file or directory

Question

I get "...sys\stat.h: No such file or directory" error when compiling a simple C program. i have been searching for a while on web and see people writing "# pacman -S base-devel" i have that already and some more packages like glib ...
These are the includes i am using :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <io.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys\stat.h>
// here is when i use the libraries sys/stats.h
struct stat stbuf;
stat(argv[2], &stbuf);
int infSize = stbuf.size;
This is the output of the command "gcc -o copy copy.c" :
copy.c:3:16: error: io.h: No such file or directory
copy.c:5:22: error: sys\stat.h: No such file or directory
copy.c: In function 'main':
copy.c:35: error: storage size of 'stbuf' isn't known
Either i am missing any package needed or the gcc compiler is missing any lib directory. But i dont know which one is it.
Any ideas are apreciated. Thanks you
EDIT : The error was actually on #Include <io.h> , but i dunno why it conflicted with #include <sys\stat.h>.
Anyway Problem Solved.

If you're not sure if you have the SDKs, can you confirm you have the files under /Developer? Check for /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/include/X11
I don't remember having to do anything special to get gcc to find these files.
From what I've noted, the usual trigger seems to be that the X11SDK.pkg package wasn't installed.
Typical PATH export is:
export PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
If you're working with Fink, there's a call to the following needed:
. /sw/bin/init.sh
See http://finkproject.org/doc/users-guide/install.php
But I'd first make sure the X11 SDK was installed. I'd guess that is missing.
