Hi, I downloaded this package yesterday (source code) to compile at home and I am running FreeBSD 3.4, which I got on a CD with a book. I have not downloaded any patches/upgrades yet (which could be part of the problem?) Basically I have 2 questions: 1) In order to just get this to compile I had to add #include lines to files such as /usr/include/net/slcompress.h (and about 2 or 3 other files in the /usr/include tree). I was always under the impression that the system include files were pretty much inviolable? 2) Once I _did_ get it compiled, it wouldn't run. First it kept telling me I didn't exist because it's call to getpwuid() was failing, and when I commented that out, a call to malloc was failing when I tried to use the 'port cuaa1' command. I wrote a small program to use getpwuid() and it was fine for me?? Any help you can give me would be gratefully received! My next step will be to install the upgrade 3.4->3-stable package, and probably to try dip again as a package rather than as source, but the editting of include files particularly bothers me. thanks Matt Proctor matthew.proctor@ssmb.com (or matt@lyveden.demon.co.uk) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
