Hi, I am trying to compile a program that uses "initstate_r" from random(3) in libc. However this function only seems to exist in the linux version of libc. Compare `man 3 random` on a linux box [1] which has "initstate_r" and "initstate", whereas `man 3 random` on a FreeBSD box [2] has only "initstate". I have the linux compat stuff on my system. The header called in the file is "#include <stdlib.h>" When I try to compile, it comes up with "undeclared identifier" errors. What can I do? Any help is much appreciated.
