hi again, thanks Ray for the netinet-includes tips: that bit is compiling nicely now :)
now, i'm having problems with some fds_bits thingy. what is it used for and where is it defined? i thought it was in sys/types.h, but the compiler doesn't seem to see the declaration (little ambiguous to me). compiler error: vrweb-1.5/src/common/Dispatch/fdmask.C:99: `fds_bits' undeclared (first use this function) problem code: if (fds_bits[i]) { declaration in sys/types.h: /usr/include/bits/types.h: __fd_mask fds_bits[__FD_SETSIZE / __NFDBITS]; (there are a few other references, but i think this is the key one) does anyone know what i'm supposed to do with this fds_bits thing? thanks :) Paul ps this is (i think) the last thing standing in the way of the "first" clean compile! then the debugging begins!
