rsp_initinfo() is defined in rsputilities.c, which is compiled into the
rsplib
library. Including "rserpool.h" and linkling -lrsplib should work. Could you
provide us the complete errors and warnings of the compile run?

For the PE, have a look at server.cc. It is a starter for different services
(e.g. Echo or Discard - the are implemented in standardservices.cc). To make
programming of these example services easier, I wrote two C++ API wrappers:
tcplikeserver.cc (which starts a new thread to handle each session; like
common TCP-based services) and udplikeserver.cc (which handles messages from
all sessions; i.e. request -> response). The examples in standardservices.cc
should - hopefully - make the idea clearer. For a more complex service, have
a look into fractalgeneratorservice.cc (this is the service for the Fractal
Generator example).

On the PU side, have a look into terminal.c (which can be used with Echo,
Discard, etc.). This example is quite simple and should - hopefully - be easy
to understand. Again, a more complex example - using multiple sessions in
different threads - is fractalpooluser.cc.

If you have more questions, just write them on the mailing list.
