As far as I can see the compilation of any line containing rpc types
fails. This is because to include rpc/pmap_clnt.h, rpc/types.h needs to be
included first. On Linux rpc/pmap_clnt.h itself includes rpc/types.h
for you so we know where the problem comes from.

See? No #include <rpc/types.h>.

You will need to change the configure.in makro that is
responsible for this check. That can be tough work if you are not
familiar with autconf, but don't be afraid. Install autoconf from
freeware.sgi.com.

After I have now downloaded the xinetd source I see configure.in line 43:

AC_CHECK_HEADER(rpc/pmap_clnt.h, [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_RPC_PMAP_CLNT_H)])

you will need to correct this to something like:

AC_CHECK_HEADER([rpc/pmap_clnt.h],
  [AC_DEFINE([HAVE_RPC_PMAP_CLNT_H])],
  [#include <rpc/types.h>
  ])

Then run autoconf in the xinetd source directory. In my case (Indy
R4400, IRIX 6.5.19m) configure then processed fine.

But running gmake was no instant pleasure: changed xinetd/signals.c
as follows:

--- /usr/tmp/signals.c Tue Feb 24 16:09:25 2004
+++ xinetd/signals.c Tue Feb 24 16:08:11 2004

Also I needed GNU make to process the Makefile generated by configure.

It seems to me everything's fine now. But as I have no intention to
use xinetd I haven't tried running it.
