configure checks for netdb.h and sets HAVE_NETDB_H in wwwconf.h. Please, check if this has worked on your system. Look into config.cache (in libs/libwww) if HAVE_NETDB_H is not set. wwwsys.h includes netdb.h if HAVE_NETDB_H is set. Is there some .c file includes HTDNS.h without including wwwsys.h before?

I regulary compile libwww on my linux (non-redhat system) without any problem. Thomas
