There are symbols __inet_ntoa missing among a couple that are missing. >How-To-Repeat: No problem on a Linux system. >Fix: The FIX I have found to correct this problem: 0. cd to the src directory 1. Edit conf.h and find the line #include 2. Comment this line out 3. Insert the following line: #include "inetx.h" 4. At the UNIX prompt, enter the following command: ln -s /usr/include/sys/arpa/inet.h inetx.h 5. Things now compile right. I am wondering if this is some sort of bug in GCC 2.7.2? As I have had the same problem in compiling BIND 8.1 with the same resolution. %0 >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Fri May 30 11:23:22 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: This problem is already listed several times in the bug database. It is not an Apache problem, but a problem with your Linux installation. It is normally caused by upgrading to BIND 8.1, which breaks some things. Either fixing the include files so they are correct or adding -lbind to the EXTRA_CFLAGS line in Configuration. >Unformatted:
