Not is don't matter to the server, but I would like to know where is running Arianne.

I don't know neither how to resolve this. The problem is that /usr/local/include isn't in the Include path. autoconf should manage this as soon as we add SDL_Net support to it. Some told me but I loss the email. Better to do on the SDL_net configure ./configure -prefix=/usr |
