This didn't seem to go through so I'm sending it again to the lists.

Hi Mitchell,

Thanks for the note. However i'm able to fully compile the released  
code on every type of OS. The Makefile now specifies std=gnu99  
argument for gcc to use, perhaps you're using a different compiler or  
an older version of gcc (3.3.4 works for me here) ? Under the C99  
standard you can declare variables in middle of the code blocks so  
vfer_getsockname() should compile ok. Nikolaus added this function  
and that's the programming style he uses in the VSL lib codes but it  
shouldn't impact compilation as long as the std flag is honored I  
believe. Can you try on another machine and\or with a different gcc  
version ?

thanks,

ivan.
