The difficulty lies in the define-c-info for constants from wait.h. I commented them out of lib/Experimental/unix.sch and everything seems fine (well I can load the socket code). There appear to be no direct references to the constants within the Larceny source tree, so I am assuming that I am fairly safe with this patch. That said, I realize that there is a POSIX compatibility issue here, so I'm not entirely clear whether anything should be done about it in the main-line development. Ray, do you reckon your work is anywhere close to being something that could be turned a sockets SRFI? Bog knows we ought to have one by now. david rush -- Once you label me, you negate me - Soren Kierkegaard
