    I have the following problem when trying to compile beta018. I'm using AIX
    4.2, gcc 2.7.2, and libg++ 2.7.2. in util/InetTransport.c++, I get the
    following errors:
    
    Socket.h: In function `static int Socket::accept(int, void *, int *)':
    In file included from InetTransport.c++:41:
    Socket.h:52: passing `int *' as argument 3 of `accept(int, sockaddr *,
    long unsigned int *)'
    Socket.h: In function `static int Socket::getpeername(int, void *, int
    *)':
    Socket.h:58: passing `int *' as argument 3 of `getpeername(int, sockaddr
    *, long unsigned int *)'
    Socket.h: In function `static int Socket::getsockname(int, void *, int
    *)':
    Socket.h:60: passing `int *' as argument 3 of `getsockname(int, sockaddr
    *, long unsigned int *)'
    Socket.h: In function `static int Socket::getsockopt(int, int, int, void
    *, int *)':
    Socket.h:62: passing `int *' as argument 5 of `getsockopt(int, int, int,
    void *, long unsigned int *)'
    make[3]: *** [InetTransport.o] Error 1
    
    I also get the same (or similar) errors in hfaxd/Parser.c++.  Has anyone
    successfully compiled beta018 on AIX 4.2? Just to be sure that I got all
    of the headers fixed, I reinstalled gcc-2.7.2 and libg++-2.7.2. Thanks for
    any response!
    
This has been discussed previously on this list.  Your system include
file defines these socket calls with a different API than is expected
(I hesitate to say standard).  You must either change the include files
or alter the code in util/Socket.h.
