[openbeosnetteam] Progress on resolving host names in route/ping

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Hi, I'm having some issues in my efforts to debug.  I had reported
earlier the segment violations that one gets when attempting to
provide a hostname as an argument to route or ping (ie ping myhost). 
It will take the hostname if it is the first one listed in the
/etc/hosts file, but no other host names.

I have been looking through our libnet source trying to find where
this is happening.  I have been looking in compat.c and
gethostnamadr.c.  I have made a few changes to these two, but the
changes were not taking effect upon rebuild.  I found that my builds
are using the libnet.so file from BeOS, and not our libnet.so file. 
That would of course explain why my changes werent doing anything!

I think earlier there was an exhange about build build problems the
Phillipe was going to fix...is this related?  Does the latest CVS
build the network kit with our library files?  Alternatively, how do
I rebuild our libraries and test ping and route against those?

Thanks for any responses,

Brennan
