I'm trying to compile some network code... but gcc is telling me
cannot find -lsocket

libsocket** is nowhere to be found in my library path?!?!  Is there a
package that I can emerge to acquire this?

You should not need -lsocket as all of the socket 'stuff' is in
glibc. I suspect that you code was written for some other *nix not
Linux and does not use autoconf to detect the build environment.

That's right, the socket API is part of libc. That's some pretty old
code, isn't it? Just leave out the -lsocket and you should be fine.

cheers!

Haha.  Yes.  My code from Solaris.  Thanks.
