What platform are you compiling this from?

If you are compiling under Solaris, you would need to add either of the following during linking:

[tt]-lxnet -lnsl -lsocket[/tt]

Hope this helps!

Thanks!! It worked.
If I get a such linking errors in future about something else, where can I read the documentation>

You could always check your platform's man pages for this. You just type [tt]man gethostbyname[/tt]. If the [tt]man[/tt] pages are not available you can also google it and typing [tt]man gethostbyname[/tt] also.
