I compiled nn 6.14 (I think).. I set it up using the generic m-80386.h
and s-bsd4-2.h (or whatever), and the file 'nntp.c' needed to include
<netinet/in.h>,  Then the entire distribution compiled and installed with
no problems at all!

note that this is as an nntp client, not and a reader using a 'cnews' database.
As such, you would have even less problems!

Cheers.
