building ripe-whois on woody?

[Neale Banks <neale@lowendale.com.au>]

After taking a look at the IRRd, I (with the benefit of hindsight, perhaps
not-so-wisely) tried ripe-dbase whoisd first.

After working through a few tweaks (which I take to be normal source
portability issues) I've hit a brick wall, which I think is distilled down
to the attached file.

It won't compile as-is (implicit declaration of function `int
getopt(...)') yet I can't figure out how to include getopt.h (or <shudder>
even explicitly declare enough to get past this) - various attempts have
just produced different errors. Anyone spot the obvious here?

Anyone ever tried to build this beastie on Debian?

Are there any other whois databases/servers I might consider?

The source I am using is 3.01 from ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/

Thanks,
Neale.
