Generally, compilation is as follows:

• Linux: gcc -o TCPEchoClient -std=gnu99 TCPEchoClient.c DieWithMessage.c TCPClientUtility.c
• Solaris: gcc -o TCPEchoClient TCPEchoClient.c DieWithMessage.c TCPClientUtility.c -lsocket -lnsl
• Both: Add -lpthread to both Linux and Solaris for the threads example
