error while including header file(dhcp.h) of ISC dhcp-4.2.3 to a C file.

[Hans Liss]

Those 'â' characters are not from any of your files; they are *brackets* around the expression that causes trouble, 'u_int8_t'. You need to include a header file that defines those integer types, like types.h or inttypes.h or whatever is needed in your environment. You will probably have to include other stuff too.

Whenever you encounter an error like this (and they can be pretty obscurely worded), search through your system's header file for ideas. If you can't figure out what to look for, google on part of the error message! Usually you can find lots people who have encountered the exact same error.

Best regards,

Hans
