    Post error: previous declaration of ‘sys_errlist’ was here

    hello,
    Here i solve this error used #include <stdio.h> and #include <errno.h> even though gettin this problem.

    error: previous declaration of ‘sys_errlist’ was here
    what i did mistake here and what is the answer.
    Code:
    #include <errno.h>
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    
    #include <netdb.h>
    
    #include <sys/socket.h>
    
    #include <sys/types.h>
    
    #include <netinet/in.h>
    
    #include <rpc/rpc.h>
    
    #include <rpc/xdr.h>
    
    #include <rpc/pmap_prot.h>
    
    #include <rpc/pmap_clnt.h>
    
    #include <rpcsvc/yp_prot.h>
    
    #include <rpcsvc/ypclnt.h>
    
    #include <signal.h>
    
    #include <setjmp.h>
    
    
    
    /* xxx: these are sometimes defined by .h files as below for getopt.  I'll
    
       fix it later... */
    
    extern int errno;
    
    #ifndef BSD4_4
    
    extern char *sys_errlist[];
    
    #endif
    
    #ifndef INADDR_NONE
    
    #define INADDR_NONE 0xffffffff
    
    #endif
    Code:
    if (!Single)
    
            if ((rc < 0) && (scan_type == s_tcp) && (errno == ECONNREFUSED))
    
    	  continue;
    
          if ((rc < 0) && (scan_type == s_udp))
    
    	continue;
    
    
    
          if (scan_type == s_tcp)
    
             serv = getservbyport(htons(port),"tcp");
    
          else if (scan_type == s_udp) {
    
             serv = getservbyport(htons(port),"udp");
    
    	 rc = 0;	/* fake out below msg */
    
          }
    
          else 
    
             return;
    
          fprintf(stdout,"port &#37;d (%s) %s\n", port,
    
    	(serv == NULL)?"UNKNOWN": serv->s_name,
    
    	(rc == 0) ? "open" : sys_errlist[errno]);
    
          fflush (stdout);
    
       }
    
    }

    wouldn't strerror() do what you want? It seems like extern declaring sys_errlist[] is bound to fail if it's ever changed.
