Hi, I'm a real unix neophyte, trying to learn quick, and I have to
install a POP server on one of our Sun 3/50s. I've got Popper 1.831
from ftp.cc.berkeley.edu and am trying to compile it. And I'm already
running into trouble (I'm also not much of a programmer) -- I get the
following error when compiling:

hal# make
cc -O -DBIND43 -DHAVE_VSPRINTF -c pop_dele.c
cc -O -DBIND43 -DHAVE_VSPRINTF -c pop_dropcopy.c
cc -O -DBIND43 -DHAVE_VSPRINTF -c pop_dropinfo.c
cc -O -DBIND43 -DHAVE_VSPRINTF -c pop_get_command.c
cc -O -DBIND43 -DHAVE_VSPRINTF -c pop_get_subcommand.c
cc -O -DBIND43 -DHAVE_VSPRINTF -c pop_init.c
pop_init.c: 123: Can't find include file resolv.h
*** Error code 2

Now, I know that means I'm missing a needed header file, but I don't
know enough about the environment (Sun Unix 4.2) to know where this
header should be. Am I missing an entire library I need or is
this some special header? This particular Sun is not used for much and
I would not be surprised if it does not have the most complete
installation.

Also, can anybody tell me where I can find a copy of ph?

I know these are probably really dumb questions, but that's OK. I'm
willing to look stupid if it gets me answers. :-)
