Tru64 netdb.h has: #if defined (_SOCKADDR_LEN) || defined (_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED) #define getaddrinfo ngetaddrinfo #else #define getaddrinfo ogetaddrinfo #endif so it is a macro, and configure produces this line: #undef $ac_func meaning that even if we added #include <netdb.h>, our configure test still would not work. Perhaps we should just test for ngetaddrinfo on that platform, and define HAVE_GETADDRINFO. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
