Cannot compile ucspi-tcp and daemontools

[91Stomperud]

I downloaded ucspi-tcp-0.88 and daemontool-0.76, but I cannot compile either package. My system is as follows:

Mandrake 9.1
KDE 3.1.0
qt 3.1.1
g++ (gcc) 3.2.2
perl 5.8.0
autoconf 2.54
automake 1.7
flex 2.5.4
Berkeley db 4.1.25

The output of (ucspi-tcp) make:

./load tcpserver rules.o remoteinfo.o timeoutconn.o cdb.a dns.a time.a unix.a byte.a `cat socket.lib`
tcpserver.o(.text+0x58b): In function `doit':

daemontools package/install is as fo

Any ideas?

I found the solution in a patch:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/13960

Although here is, as far as I know, no patches for daemontools and ucspi-tcp, the problem can be fixed by replacing

extern int errno;

with

#include <errno.h>

in the file error.h

There are some patches for erno for all of DJ Bernstein's software and you can find them here

I had simular problems compiling on linux box. I was not logged in as root, I su - root and received a butt load of errors. Make sure you are root when trying to compile these programs.
