Cockpit error. You left out a few headers. --- connect_test.c.orig 2003-02-24 18:25:34.000000000 +0000 +++ connect_test.c 2003-02-24 18:18:42.000000000 +0000 @@ -7,8 +7,11 @@ #include <stdlib.h> #include <signal.h> +#include <string.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> +#include <unistd.h> +#include <arpa/inet.h> /* the domain exists but not the machine */ - string.h is needed for memset() - unistd.h is needed for alarm() - arpa/inet.h is needed for inet_addr() After that it works fine.
