We have not tested the socketapilib on Solaris, only the sctplib
has been tested on Solaris.

Andreas/Thomas,
Thank you for your reply.
I have run the program with the root permissions, or the program would report "ERROR: You need root permissions to use the SCTP Library!" but not "ERROR: SCTP is not available!".

Hi,
I encounter the difficulty when I run the example programs of
socketapi lib in directory cppsocket_programs. All the programs echo

"ERROR:

SCTP is not available!" and exit. And the test program of sctplib works
well.

The correlative information is:
SCTPLib : 1.0.1
SocketApi: 1.3.1
OS: Solaris2.9(sparc)
C & C++ compiler: gcc,g++ (Version 3.4.1)

That may be a problem of some operating system related functions.

What value does the call to

if(getuid() != 0) {

sctplib uses a raw socket, which requires root permissions. This call checks if
you are root (user ID: zero). If you are not root, sctplib cannot work,
therefor e socket API will print an error message.

The next version of the sctplib will use a daemon, which runs under root
permissions. Then, other programs access the SCTP functionality via a Unix
socket, making being root unnecessary. The new versions of sctplib and socket
API will be released within the next few weeks.


Best regards
