Always i obtain error messages. This depends on how you installed FreeBSD 3.2 . Did you install the developer distribution? If you chose a minimal installation, you may be missing stuff. > What can i do for make my FreeBSD box a better place > for compiling?. Install the developer distribution (including sources). > sometimes, the problem are the includes, for example, > protocols.h, Where can i get them? We don't have a protocols.h . Sounds like the software you downloaded is for Linux. Linux's libc doesn't have all the inet stuff in it, so software intended for compilation under Linux will expect additional headers and libraries to be present for inet support. You may find the software you're looking for in the FreeBSD Ports Collection, in which case you can compile it within a FreeBSD-friendly framework or download a pre-compiled package.
