[e2e] pchar-1.3 available

[Jaiwant Mulik]

Hi Mr. Mah,

While compiling your code under linux 2.2.16-22 (Redhat 7.0) I get the
following error:

[jmulik:1121-1 ~/pchar-1.3]$make
c++ -g -O2 -I. -DSIZEOF_BOOL=1 -DHAVE_SOCKLEN_T=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1
-DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_FEATURES_H=1 -D_BSD_SOURCE=1
-DHAVE_HERROR=1 -DHAVE_SNPRINTF=1 -DHAVE_LIBM=1 -DHAVE_IPV6=1
-DNEED_RANDOM_PROTO=1  -c main.cc -o main.o
main.cc: In function `int main (int, char **)':
main.cc:596: `srandom' undeclared (first use this function)
main.cc:596: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
function it appears in.)
make: *** [main.o] Error 1

Any suggestions ?

bye,
