argus-3.0.0.rc.14

I tried out your advice, I just globally used sed s/u_int/uint/g. I
figured some of the definitions like nff_u_int(s) might be changed and
were already adequately defined in the argus header files but it made
for consistent reading and I didn't have to poke through the files and
decide about changing each and every entry. So now on the ./configure it
finds the uint types and the very next line is: checking for ANSI ioctl
definitions... no... then it bombs. I can see the ioct.h file is
in /usr/include/sys as I would think that it should be. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Karl
