Bug #599 configure --with-libwrap on RedHat Linux 7.3 failes...

Description:
I configured MySQL with ./configure --with-librwap and the compilation failed:

[..]

Something similiar happend when I tried to use this same option with MySQL 4.X on RedHat linux 8.0.

Btw., thanks for this fine databasesystem. :)

How to repeat:
./configure --with-libwrap

Urgh, typo there, --with-libwrap it is -- my typing is strange today...

I got exactly the same errors on RedHat 8.0, but on RedHat 9 it compiles without any problem and passes all tests. I have no 7.3 around to test it.

./configure --with-libwrap
make
make test

Unfortunately I do not have access to either version. Salle, would it be possible
for you to investigate the difference between Red Hat 8.0 and 9 here? I can't
reproduce this on SuSE Linux.

This one might explain a bit...

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=76076

so, I close it as a non-MySQL issue. According to the url above it's broken tcp_wrapper's headers on RH8, and it was corrected in RH9

this bug also appears on Slackware 9.1 and Solaris 9 using mysql 3.23.58.
