Hi to everybody, on a Debian Lenny system I got the error mentioned above, i. e. configure reported "no" for both functions, even though the two BSD compatibility packages mentioned in the subject are installed. Both functions are declared in
/usr/include/bsd/string.h When including that header file and linking with "-lbsd", it should be OK, i. e. the configure checks for both functions should return "yes" instead of "no". So, my question is: Why does the configure script not include these checks on Linux systems (for the bsd/string.h file and libbsd)? I suspect that this might be a general problem on Linux, not just limited to Debian Lenny. (Hopefully, I didn't forget to mention anything. Otherwise, please don't hesitate to ask.) Thanks in advance & kind regards, Holger
