Andreas,

I'm not sure if Thomas has access to a Solaris machine, but
I can try to see if it compiles and runs. But as Andreas pointed
out, there is a preview Version of SCTP for Solaris 9 available
from Sun.

Best regards
Michael

Dear Xuhui,

as I suspected in my earlier mail, Solaris is currently not supported
for the socketapi library.

Thomas, can you comment on whether or not is is feasible to port
the socketapi to Solaris ?

However, I suspect that it does not really make sense to spend
a whole lot of time for a Solaris port, since Solaris will support
SCTP in the kernel. See http://playground.sun.com/sctp/

Best regards,
Andreas

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!".

Regards
Xuhui

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

Thomas Dreibholz
