I'm just trying to learn inotify(), so I'm sure this code has other 
problems, but this
is what I'm trying now that results in the errors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <sys/inotify.h>
#include <sys/select.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int fd, wd, ret, sel;
#define BUF_LEN 1024
    char buf[BUF_LEN];
    size_t len;
    fd_set set[2];

    fd = inotify_init();
    FD_SET(fd, set);
    wd = inotify_add_watch(fd, "/home/ellson/hello.dot", IN_MODIFY | 
IN_DELETE);
    while (true) {
        sel = select(1, set, NULL, NULL, NULL);
        len = read(fd, buf, BUF_LEN);
        fprintf(stderr, "I woke up\n");
    }
    ret = inotify_rm_watch(fd, wd);
}
