make[2]: *** [htpasswd] Error 1
On RH 6.2, gai_strerror() is in libc.a and libc_p.a. The man pages
indicate that gai_strerror() is a companion to getaddrinfo(), and
it's prototyped in <netdb.h>. It doesn't appear on my 5.2 system
at all.
Has it been decided that APR won't support this environment? A
friendlier way of saying so would be nice.. :-)
