#socket.library
5 messages in this thread
Greetings from Belgium! (en Dag, Karl …)
I'm trying to install the new beta of AMosaic, and not getting very far. First
I needed socket.library, so I found and installed that. Then I added an assign
to a mythical inet:libs, and the next fail – thank goodness for SnoopDOS – told
me I need another library called bsdsocket.library.
Has anyone else had these problems? can anyone tell me where to find this
second library?
I have been using AMosaic Nonet, because with carte blanche and an ISDN
connection at work – writing Web pages, among other things – I don't need a
live Internet connection at home. A better Amiga browser might make me change
my mind, of course …
Thanks in advance for any tips.

PMFBI, I had the same problem & no one believes me <G>. I took sockt.library
out of the TCP libs (nothing would work when it was there). Just run
IINTS151.LHA to install everything & it will take care of that problem. I don't
yet know the answer why it works, but it does!

Niels,
maybe I did get you wrong,
but AMosaic is supposed to work only if AmiTCP is up and running. You have not
to connect to the net, though. Just start AmiTCP form a shell (the program, not
the startnet script, as is <g>).
BTW, just to add to the confusion <g,r&d>: I have neither socket.library nor
bsdsocket.library anywhere in my system. AmiTCP had usergroup.library with it,
so it's there. AmiTCP and for that reason AMosaic or Gui-FTP work pretty well,
though (I recall dimly that somewhere in the docs they mention that socket.lib
was not needed anymore with AmiTCP higher than 2 or 3something). Don't know for
Thor (sorry, Gracia) since I failed to find the time to set it up 'til now.

Joachim,
Thanks, you explained the great socket.lib mystery <G>! I knew I had read the
answer from Chris but forgot what it was. I'll figure out Thor's use. One of
these days someone will say the magic words or I'll play around with it 'til I
get something useful.

Niels,
I had problems with AmiTCP v4.2 last spring.It concerned the bsdsocket.library
not being found. Upon contacting NSDI tech support I was told that the
bsdsocket.library is create dynamically by the AmiTCP binary when the program
is started by the 'startnet' script. The startnet script uses the Arexx
'WAITFORPORT' command to pause long enough to wait for the bsdsocket.library to
be formed and installed. Check and make sure that you have the 'WAITFORPORT'
Arexx command in RexxC and check that your Shell-startup script has a PATH
command pointing to the same or similar command dirs that your startup-sequence
script points to. When you start a newshell it DOES NOT inherit the command
pathways from Workbench; you have to set these Paths seperately in the
shell-startup. This was what my problem was with the bsdsocket.library.
Hope this helps.
