Use libc 5 instead if you need to use it instead of glibc. Unless they mention a.out specifically, it probably has nothing to do with a.out vs. ELF. Slackware is a libc 5 based distribution, while glibc based distributions like debian normally provide compatibility libraries for libc 5 binaries, so you might find that ipfilter works on debian unchanged. I have never used ipfilter, nor tried to compile it, so don't take what I say as absolute truth :) -- Michael Wood | Tel: +27 21 762 0276 | http://www.kingsley.co.za/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Fax: +27 21 761 9930 | Kingsley Technologies
