on my system, "nm /usr/lib/libbsd.a | grep gethostbyname" finds all the
entries you'd expect.

your compile line should be something like "cc prog.c -lbsd -o prog"?

do you have the development option loaded on your machine?  (check
"versions | grep dev", which should say something like...

   I dev                    5900637   Dev Sys PD 3, S5-DV01-3.2, 808-0059-006
   I dev.sw      89/09/06   5800637   Dev Sys SW 3, S5-DV01-3.2, 808-0058-006
   I dev.man     89/09/06   6000637   Dev Sys Man 3, S5-DV01-3.2, 808-0060-006

good luck,
