Hi, Like many other people, I too had a problem with the _res missing symbol. I traced it to the point that it was redefined by libnet, in resolv.conf, and I have the feeling that it clashed with a definition outside libnet (probably the BeOS R5 libroot, I haven't looked at it yet, because I only thought of it now). Anyway, I've changed all the _res in the libnet source to the more meaningful (and less probable of clashing) name _resolver_configuration. Now all the utilities work, and when it doesn't work now, it's a real bug! May I commit? Niels Sascha Reedijk
