This compiles fine....

        #include <sys/types.h>
        #include <sys/socket.h>
        #include <net/if.h>
        main()
        {
                struct ifreq s;
                s.ifr_addr.sa_len = 0;
        }

But though I have tried to add it to configure.in I cant get
it to define HAVE_SA_LEN for some reason :-( I added this to the configure.in:

AC_TRY_COMPILE([#include <sys/types.h>
                #include <sys/socket.h>
                #include <net/if.h>],
               [struct ifreq s; s.ifr_addr.sa_len = 0;],
               sa_len=1, sa_len=0)

what did I get wrong ? I have never played with autoconf before so I am
working fairly blindly here I am afraid.

Interesting, I assumed it was an older BSD feature - but I just checked some
VMS sytems and they dont have it either. The original gdomap interface
listing code runs fine under VMS by the way :-)

-bat.
