Hello,

What's up with RH 9? I'm using the defined protocol families and every
time I attempt to open a socket with socket() I get the following:

Unable to create socket: Socket type not supported

The socket type seems to be supported. It's mentioned in the manual
page. For crying out loud, I'm using IPX/SPX on eth0. I have IPX/SPX
command utilities (such as nprint, etc.), what am I missing? Perhaps a
header file somewhere? Currently, my program code has the following
library headers:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netipx/ipx.h>
#include <errno.h>

What else is necessary?
