Re: [bug-inetutils] Install problem on Mac OS

Thanks, the test in configure.ac is completely broken for <osockaddr.h>:

  dnl We may need our own definition for struct osockaddr (equivalent to the
  dnl old 4.3BSD struct sockaddr, and used in grotty bsd talk protocol)
  AC_CHECK_TYPE(struct osockaddr, ,
                [AC_DEFINE([HAVE_OSOCKADDR_H], 1,
                           [Define to one if you have <osockaddr.h>.])],
                [IU_FLUSHLEFT([#include <sys/types.h>
                               #include <sys/socket.h> ])])

The AC_CHECK_TYPE function takes the following arguments:

  AC_CHECK_TYPE (TYPE, [ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND], 
                 [INCLUDES = `AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT'])

Obviously, the above code in configure.ac defines HAVE_OSOCKADDR_H
when "struct osockaddr" is _not_ found.

In either case, the patch I sent previously should work, and I'll
commit a variant of it later on.

Thanks!
