I'm trying to teach myself sockets w/ C++, and it's rough going--mainly
because DJGPP doesn't come with socket support already.  Now, I *do* have
RSXNTDJ as well, which has everything I need, but when I put the following
into my programs:

  #include <sys/socket.h>
  #include <netinet/in.h>
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <netdb.h>
  #include <arpa/inet.h>

... I get an error message from gxx that tells me that it can't find some of
them.  Here's what it looks like:

  D:\djgpp\practice>gxx -o test.exe test0022.cc
  test0022.cc:1: sys/socket.h: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
  test0022.cc:5: netdb.h: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
  test0022.cc:6: arpa/inet.h: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

Well, the files are all under <..\djgpp\rsxntdj\include\*.*>, but not under
DJGPP's default include directory (as defined in <djgpp.env>).  How can I
get the compiler to recognize that it needs to look in RSX's dir instead of
the default include?  I tried using
#include "D:/djgpp/rsxntdj/.../whatever.h"
so I could manually define it, but when I do that, it just gives me another
error message from the header file proclaiming that it's just declared a
header file twice (that being "types.h", which both DJ and RSX have in their
respective include directories)--what a pain.  If someone could mail me
back, I'd very much appreciate it; at this rate, I can't even get off the
ground w/ sockets, let alone mess around with it to my satisfaction! ;->
Thank you for your time.
