[SNIPPED...]
getprotobyname() has nothing to do with linux-kernel so you should
not have sent your inquiry to the linux-kernel list. This is one
of the functions that is provided by your 'C' runtime library.
Here is an example of it working....

If you are not running from an ix86 PC, you may need to
link in another library when you compile the code. For instance,
on my Sun workstation, I have to do...
gcc -Wall -O2 -o xxx xxx.c -lsocket -lnsl
... to load all the libraries I need for networking. It's just
the same as when you do floating-point math, you need to load
the math libraries with '-lm'
