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.

seems to work fine to start with then bombs out, can any one help
im using solaris 9

thanks in advance.

Joe :( :( :(

Yea, get a new library or consult the documentation.

Yea, any sugrestions on what library ( where to find it ), I did read the docs on the library i have it said to compile type make all, the out put you see is the result.
THanks
Joe

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)
