there have been so many changes to fedora in the last 10 releases that i would NOT expect something built in fedora 2 to work on fedora 12

rewrite the software to comply with gcc 4.4
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/porting_to.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/porting_to.html
and rebuild in on fedora 12

Dear Mr John,

Thanks for your reply. As u suggested I recompiled the program with Fedora 12. The program got compiled without any errors. But still the recv(..) returns -1. I tried to capture the packets using wireshark and the packets are available. I dont know why its not avaiable on the socket which i am listening to.

Again i got my firewall disabled thinking Firewall may stop my application from receiving the packets. But this also didnt work.

can you post the full error from bash ?

I tried to print the error using perror and the error string is "Resource temporarily available" ..i doubt whether the DVD which i used for installation is having some problem becoz certain programs which i wrote in Qt is giving a core dump while executing in this machine, but the same program is running fine in another machine with Fedora 12. Awaiting ur comments.

Hi,

I tried to rewrite the receive program using "select". But Select returns 0. Anyway i could see the packets using Wireshark. So the packets are arriving but its not avaiable in the socket i am polling.

Please help.
