Ah, I love the game of "guess the dependency"!

Can you take a look in your /usr/lib directory and see which library
defines the missing symbols?

You might also try -lresolv (which in turn may require -lnsl - try
both).

It looks like my first reply didn't make it.  I think it may have went
directly to David.  I am new to most of this so please bear with me.  How
would I check the libraries to find where these functions are defines.  I
tried looking at the .a files but those look like they are binary files.  I
also tried to compile from the command line adding the -lresolv and both
the -lresolv and -lsnl options and I get the same message.

Thanks for all of your help.
