Thanks everyone for helping with the fd_set structure problem.
I found out that we have it in our system in /usr/include/sys/select.h.
I need to define _BSD in order to get to this structure.

However, I just found a new problem and wonder if you could help me:
The class FDSet was defined as

class FDSet: public VIRTUAL Object {
	....
  private:
	fd_set	fs;
  protected:
	virtual void storer(OIOofd&) const;
	virtual void storer(OIOout&) const;
  	....
};

where fd_set is

typedef struct fd_set {
	fd_mask fds_bits[howmany(FD_SETSIZE, NFDBITS)];
} fd_set;

And in FDSet.c we have the following:

void FDSet::storer(OIOofd& fd) const
{
    BASE::storer(fd);
    fd.put((const char*)&fs,(unsigned)sizeof(fs));
}

Which AT&T C++ compiler on my system complaints that you could
not take address of member FDSet::fs of const struct FDSet

Did anyone run into this problem when they were trying to build it?
Or my NIHCL is out of date.

Thanks,
Mimi.
