Hi Rob,
Yes, its a normal thing that some of print-*.c files will not compile.
Thing is, if you include <sys/socket.h> (and they do) then you have
struct iovec declaration pulled in from <asm/uio.h> automatically so there
is no need to include <sys/uio.h> as in "conventional" Unices.
So, just coment <sys/uio.h> and it will all compile/work nicely.
Regards,
Tigran.
PS. Btw, thanks for the location of tcpdump-3.0.3 - I'll go and upgrade mine
in a minute.... :)
