The PL_CreateOptState and PL_DestroyOptState functions are not documented in the NSPR Reference (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/reference/html/ and the wiki version at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/NSPR_API_Reference), so you need to look at the comments in the plgetopt.h header file as documentation: http://lxr.mozilla.org/nspr/source/nsprpub/lib/libc/include/plgetopt.h The prefixes are significant. PR_ is used for NSPR functions in the main NSPR library. PL_ is used for NSPR functions in the PLDS and PLC libraries. PL stands for "portable library". SEC_ is one of the prefixes used for NSS functions. > 2) Also, when I compile the selfserv.c, I see that NSS_ENABLE_ECC > isn't defined hence I cannot use ECC...
