You might look at my posting from yesterday, although if that is the only 
help that you receive then it's a case of the blind leading the blind....

I never could get the supplied resolv.h to work. g++ kept complaining about 
exceptions, even though there is no mention of them in resolv.h. (I suspect 
some #define somewhere was messing things up, but I have no clue how to fix 
the problem.)

Actually, I might as well include the important part of yesterday's posting 
here:

Got it to build!

The magic incantations were:

1. Do not use any of the headers from bind-devel except for <arpa/nameser.h>

2. Explicitly #define BIND_RES_POSIX3 before including any header files

3. Make sure to include -lbind on the command line (this is the only one of 
the three that I deem "obvious")

This seems pretty weird to me. It surely can't be the way it's supposed to 
work.
