Repcached does not compile

If you want the tutorial on installing repcached, click here.

For the record, I am using:

Ubuntu 11.10 

Linux 3.0.0-12-server #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 16:36:30 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3)
GNU Make 3.81


If you're getting this error when doing make for repcached,

Related discussion here.

Compiler says that IOV_MAX is not defined. I'm not really sure what this is, but it compiled fine on Ubuntu 10.04. I guess that const is not used anymore.

In memcached.c code, we can see that IOV_MAX is defined if the OS is FreeBSD or iOS, so I decided to just define it anyway.

Here is my diff of the code that made it compile, in case you need it.

< #if defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(__APPLE__)
< # define IOV_MAX 1024
< #endif
