Yes. Recent changes to netinet/in.h have made it require the inclusion of arpa/inet.h. As well, arpa/inet.h must include netinet/in.h. IOW, each of these files must #include the other in order to work correctly. As you might guess, this is a less than desirable situation. A #includes B and B #includes A is a very bad arrangement. However, unless both files are overhauled, that is what will have to happen. To say that this sucks is an understatement. I already have an open PR on the arpa/inet.h problem. Now that the reverse dependency has been made to occur, I have written portmgr@ requesting a referral to a mainline developer who can handle this mess in an expedient manner. In the meantime, you need to find every occurence of either of those files being included, and make sure the other is included as well. netinet/in.h needs to come first. Since the problem is a large one, and any change will not happen without a reasonable amount of deliberation, I suggest you submit a PR with a patch for kdelibs source tree. -- Alan Eldridge "Dave's not here, man."
