unix socket programming

[rvy2k]

Hi everybody,

I am new to socket programming and C and i am trying to compile this:

/*code begins*/
struct sockaddr_in dest;
dest.sin_port = htons(MY_PORT);
/*code ends*/

However I am having a
%parse error before `='
compiling error.

Can anybody help?
Thanks!

Is it possible that the include files are missing for definition of the function htons. The reason might not be in this line.

A parse Error may have a lot of reasons. May be a missing ; or if there is anywhere a division by a Pointer variable written as a/*b instead a / *b or .............
