fail to compile getaddrinfo().

[York Lo]

I got the following compiler error:
Error 628: .. addrinfo Hints can't be defined to have an incomplete type.
struct addrinfo Hints;
^^^^^
As the man page suggested, and are included.

Use uname -a, the OS version is: HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/785. Also, TOUR A.02.05 is installed.

addrinfo struct is not defined in netdb.h file. My question is that:
Is there any OS upgrade to compile IPv6 codes? or anything that I have to do to configure the system properly?

Thank you for helps.

Looking it up on an identical workstation and the same OS level as yours. The /usr/include/netdb.h header file is present and has struct addrinfo defined there.

hope it helps!

Sandman,

Thank you very much for quick reply.

Did you install any additional sw packages in the IPv6 area that may change the /usr/include/netdb.h file? I looked at mine again, it didn't define the getaddrinfo(), getnameinfo() functions neither.

Nothing unusual. See if you have BIND on your box, because it overwrites the file.

[York Lo]

Sandman,

Thank you again.

I did "swlist | grep -i bind" and got nothing. There is no BIND install on the box. BTW, do you know what lib that may contains the getaddrinfo()?

I am going to install the BIND9.2 now.

Hi Sandman,

I just realized that the TOUR wasn't installed properly. Will try to install again. Hope it is the only reason.

York,

You could always get a copy of from a similar workstation. I don't know what TOUR is and whether installing it has any effect on the network header files?
