Hi,
I'm not quite sure why you are asking this question on the linux-net
mailing list. (?)

It's conditionally defined in that header file. Did you check to see if

Sure, my number one question: what kernel version?
The answer is not SuSE 8.1 or RH 7.2. It's something like
Linux 2.4.19 or Linux 2.5.60.

Lose that semi-colon there. ^
Linux 2.4.* does not implement the clock_gettime() syscall.
Patches for 2.4 POSIX clocks and timers are available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/high-res-timers/
These syscalls were added to Linux 2.5.64 or thereabouts, so if you
download a very recent Linux 2.5 kernel, you'll be able to use it
for these syscalls. (more recent is better.)
