As best I can tell, with the native NetBSD sys/socket.h, if a problem in any way defines (or triggers definition of) _POSIX_SOURCE or _XOPEN_SOURCE, anything which calls sys/socket.h will break horribly (since it uses values from types.h - which it also fails to include on it's own - which are only valid if not using POSIX sources, specifically u_char rather than u_int8_t) Can anyone offer solutions to this? It's breaking a number of packages which, for various reasons, declare one of these two, and then include some file which, in turn, includes sys/socket.h
can you post the exactly problems? this sounds more like broken packages defining things (_POSIX_SOURCE and/or _XOPEN_SOURCE) incorrectly... you can't just define it for some system headers and not others! .mrg.
