Re: [ns] problem installing ns-allinone-2.1b8a

[Shashi Guruprasad <shash@cs.utah.edu>]

There are a few more minor problems with building nse on FreeBSD. 

netinet/ip.h requires including netinet/in_systm.h in the files:
emulate/iptap.h and emulate/tcptap.h

----------iptap.h diff-----------
41d40
< #include <netinet/in_systm.h>
----------end iptap.h diff-----------

----------tcptap.h diff-----------
41d40
< #include <netinet/in_systm.h>
----------tcptap.h diff-----------

Lastly, emulate/arp.cc has the following:

// Very very very back hack. Should put this detection in autoconf.
#ifndef ether_aton
extern "C" {
ether_addr* ether_aton(const char *);
}
#endif

ether_aton is a previously declared function in <net/ethernet.h> and
ifndef doesn't seem to be catching it. You need a workaround for it. I'm
just doing an #if 0 in my build

I'm using a FreeBSD 4.0
