Which header files are you trying to include, and which compiler/ide are you using?

Hmm, are you including the files properly?
Care to share some code?

i guess pasting the whole code wud be useless, my source file starts from :

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/select.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>

.. and then further coding ..

but when i compile it stucks on
#include <netdb.h>
giving an error that
netdb.h: No such file or directory.
and when i check the Include folder .. it doesnt have that header file !
So thats wat the problem is .. Similarly in the above initial code, i dont have socket.h and in.h files in the respective directories ..

Any Solution for My problem .. ?

Phanks,
Adios.

Well, you need to install a posix library. Check out the open source version:
http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/

So in other words u wanna say that it contains the header files which i need ?

Adios,

You'll need to read the documentation that comes with it. This is a win32 port of POSIX, I know it only on unix.
