    Simple Socket Library Not so simple

    I know that im not being very helpful with this and its not the nicest problem in the world, but I would be greatful of any help.

    Please help me, I have been looking at socket programming and found it hard to get my head around so, i thort id look at a library, i found the SIMPLE socket library at http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/ssl/ sounds like a good idea but when I try compiling the code I get this, There is no information about this that I can see on the web,plus im new to adding non standard librarys.

    Yea, get a new library or consult the documentation.

    Re: Simple Socket Library Not so simple

    All those functions that you list as "undefined first reference" are Solaris-system-provided functions, not Simple Sockets Library provided functions. Apparently your system's socket functions reside in one or more libraries that isn't/aren't currently getting linked in. I don't have a Solaris system myself; however, it didn't take too much effort to use the web and find out that you need to have -lsocket -lnsl on your link line. An easy way to do that:

    export LDFLAGS="-lsocket -lnsl"

    will (probably) do the trick. (looked at A Crash Course in UNIX TCP/IP Socket Programming)
