I seem to recall getting the same error trying to compile 1.1.9 on a system that had been "upgraded" rather than freshly installed. I can't remember what I did to solve this problem! However, I also came across another 'problem' with gethostbyname() which was failing the Squid DNS test. When I totally reinstalled this machine (after saving /etc and a few other directories I wanted to keep relatively intact), this problem also disappeared. I suspect now that it was that I did the upgrade of the 2.1.5 system to 2.2.1 but didn't then install the compat21 package! I think that it was a shared library incompatibility problem. While a fresh install is certainly more "painfull" then the simpler upgrade, it does ensure that you don't carry over baggage (or at least as much baggage) from one release to the next. From beginning to end should certainly be less that 1 hr and the benefits of 2.2.1 (mounting the Squid cache filesystem(s) async & noatime) can make the extra effort worthwhile... Tony
