This patch has the includes need to build on Solaris. I've been using ifdef linux & ifndef linux to distinguish between solaris and linux at this point.

No, I don't agree. We should use configure.in to test for the presence of header files and then do things like:
#ifdef HAVE_STRINGS_H #include <strings.h> #endif
For strings.h I don't see the point in making it conditional really, unless we're going to do the same for every single other header we include. The strings.h header is always present on Linux. In recent times stuff that was previously in strings.h has moved to string.h, but they're still in the original header too. So we should always include both string.h & strings.h for maximum portability.
Hum, I don't think they are really the same. In libxml2 I do a configure test for HAVE_STRINGS_H but string.h is included without checks in a lot of places.
They're not the same - I string.h is a superset of strings.h on Linux, but on other places they're disjoint sets. Comment in strings.h... /* We don't need and should not read this file if <string.h> was already read. The one exception being that if __USE_BSD isn't defined, then these aren't defined in string.h, so we need to define them here. */ Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
