Hai All,

the error is "storage size of 'addr' isnt known"

earlier i used to do programs in c with structures but i dint come across this kind of error.

so please help in above error.

Hi,

posibly this may help you,

just add this string with the compilation statement

-I<and here goes the path of the include directory>
e.g. gcc -I/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/ filename.c -o filename.o

this should work, as i have tried it.

Check if you have these somewhere at the top of your source file:

Code:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <unistd.h>
