[alt.sources.d] nginfo problems

nagel@ics.uci.edu (Mark Nagel) (03/24/90)

Some people have written me saying that they can't run nginfo
because they don't have the sys/socket.h file.  This is
understandable because the perl 3.0 installation does not yet (and
may never) automatically install these file in the perl library.
You can create socket.h with the makelib script in the perl source
directory.  It should be run over the standard
/usr/include/sys/socket.h file and the output should be placed in
LIB/sys/socket.h, where LIB is the location of the perl library.  If
you are unable to create the file, I can send you mine, but it may
not be correct (ours was created under a SunOS 4.0 system).  If you
can create it but are unable to install it, you can just load it
from your home directory or wherever by specifying an absolute path
in the "do" line that loads socket.h.  I hope this helps some people
out...
