Dear FreeBSD users, I have run out of ideas to troubleshoot a difficult task: get wvstreams and wvdial to work on FreeBSD 8.1. I have tried without success to get the code to compile and I encounter the following error: ..... ./CXX -c utils/strcrypt utils/strcrypt.cc:3:21: warning: crypt.h: No such file or directory ./CXX -c utils/verstring ./CXX -c utils/wvargs -Iargp ./CXX -c utils/wvassert ./CXX -c utils/wvbase64 ./CXX -c utils/wvcrash ./CXX -c utils/wvdiriter ./CXX -c utils/wvglob ./CXX -c utils/wvglobdiriter ./CXX -c utils/wvgzip ./CXX -c utils/wvhex ./CXX -c utils/wvmagiccircle ./CXX -c utils/wvmatrix ./CXX -c utils/wvpam ./CXX -c utils/wvrateadjust ./CXX -c utils/wvserialize ./CXX -c utils/wvshmzone ./CXX -c utils/wvstringtable ./CXX -c utils/wvsubproc ./CXX -c utils/wvsubprocqueue ./CXX -c utils/wvsystem ./CXX -c utils/wvtest ./CXX -c utils/wvtr1 ./CXX -c utils/wvuid ./CXX -c utils/wvwordwrap linking libwvutils.so... /usr/bin/ld: argp/libargp.a(argp-help.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC argp/libargp.a: could not read symbols: Bad value gmake: *** [libwvutils.so] Error 1 [olivares@ ~/Downloads/wvstreams-4.6.1]$ I applied the patches suggested here: http://www.distasis.com/cpp/patches.htm#wvdial See the following threads for reference in case this is needed. http://groups.google.com/group/wvstreams-devel/t/fca414e7fea9a727?hl=en http://groups.google.com/group/wvstreams-devel/t/2e70344a504b6a58?hl=en and a nice person, Laura, has helpred tremendously, but still can't get past that error. She encouraged me to ask, but I was hesistant to do so. I have gotten help with LaTeX/TeX issues and with autologin in with both KDE and in XFCE and I appreciate the help I have gotten. I tried downloading the i386 version of 8.1-RELEASE and the special XFCE variant but downloads got corrupted and md5 did not match so I gave up. Tried it about 3 times and same result :( What should I try or do to get this going? In case anyone out there wonders, FreeBSD 8.1 does not have kppp by default. I need a dialer to be able to use my FreeBSD box to connect to outside world. To use this machine, I have Slax/Slax-Remix LiveCD to connect but I would really like to use FreeBSD since it has been a long time since I was able to connect from a FreeBSD box at home (FreeBSD 6.X). Thank you in advance for advice/suggestions/comments in this matter. Regards, Antonio
