Subject: netinet/in.h and asm/byteorder.h have conflicting types for ntohl/htonl

Date: Sat, 24 Jan 1998 20:57:37 +0200

Package: libc6.1-dev
Version: 2.0.6-2

The following demonstrates the problem (don't worry about the filename
little-endian.c, it's not relevant):

	$ cat little-endian.c
	#include <netinet/in.h>
	#include <asm/byteorder.h>
	
	int foo;
	$ gcc -c little-endian.c
	In file included from little-endian.c:2:
	/usr/include/asm/byteorder.h:17: conflicting types for `ntohl'
	/usr/include/netinet/in.h:198: previous declaration of `ntohl'
	/usr/include/asm/byteorder.h:19: conflicting types for `htonl'
	/usr/include/netinet/in.h:200: previous declaration of `htonl'
	[status 1]
	$ 

netinet/in.h is from libc.  asm/byteorder.h is from kernel-headers-2.0.32
(2.0.32-3); this bug might be more appropriate for that package, I
don't know. I'm using an Alpha, and haven't checked whether the problem
exists on other platforms as well.
