"Undefined Symbol" when writing socket code???

Hi everyone,

I have a "This should be simple!" kind of problem. I need to do a little socket programming on a SunOS machine
. I went back to an old school assignment I did years ago, cut-n-pasted that code, intending to basically cannibalize it for the program I need to write now. Trouble is, my compiler chokes on the socket-specific terms like getaddrinfo() or inet_ntop.

Here is the output when I try to compile:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
bash-3.00$ g++ Main.cpp
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
getaddrinfo /var/tmp//ccCpuGRv.o
freeaddrinfo /var/tmp//ccCpuGRv.o
inet_ntop /var/tmp//ccCpuGRv.o
gai_strerror /var/tmp//ccCpuGRv.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
bash-3.00$
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


I'll post the latest code I'm using, but I don't think my problem lies in the code. I've tried compiling my own code plus about a dozen examples I've found online. I *ALWAYS* get the same problem, this "undefined symbol" problem with some socket-specific terms. I've also tried alternating between g++ and gcc; both compilers essentially complain about the same "undefined symbol" problem.

(As a side note, I can copy the EXACT SAME CODE over to my school's Linux machine, and it compiles just fine there!)

So I'm thinking this is (A) a problem with the SunOS machine I'm working on, or (B) I am forgetting a library or something. I'm hoping it is not (A), as I'm not the system admin and don't have the power to install anything on this platform.

Has anyone seen something like this? I need to know what the problem is... and how do I get around it??? :(

Many thanks!

Below is the code I am compiling in the above example. Full disclosure: This is an example I found online which I have been fiddling with. It compiles on the Linux machine.
