Hello Aristeu,

Thanks for your report.  You are right that the path is wrong, but not
quite right about the fix.  The man pages were written a bit in advance
of the work that needed to be done to include appropriate definitions in
glibc.  These definitions appeared only in glibc 2.4, in the header file
<sys/inotify.h>;  I presume that you have an older glibc.

I have fixed the manual pages to point to <sys/inotify.h>.

Cheers,

Michael
