I Am inserting another plea out there to anyone who reads this... I thought -lnsl and -lsocket was an HP-UX/Solaris thing... I have never had to use it for compiling network programs in Linux. When i write my inet programs i usually /have/ to include a waste load of #ifndef's for HPUX/SOLARIS and then the LINUX versions... ie: herror is different as opposed to perror... Anyways, i have never compiled network programs using -lnsl and -lsocket, so i am wondering why O8 would be wanting to do such a thing... Which leads me to my second question... is there a setting that i am missing, a configuration file where i have to comment out #define SVR4 and uncomment #define LINUX... - am using 2.0.36 - Glibc1 - cheers, elmo -- Elmo M Recio Office of Info Tech. at Oracle Applications Development Thomas Jefferson University Linux Project Administrator 201 S. 11th St #305c elmo@lindev.jmc.tju.edu Philadelphia, PA 19103 elmo@storm.jmc.tju.edu Ofce: 215.503.0991 emilio.recio@mail.tju.edu Pagr: 215.314.2622
