It's no harder to build from the developer source.
You know what? On the ntp-dev package for Debian THE BUILD DEPENDENCIES ARE INCORRECT AS WELL!! Those kind of things are hard, very hard, to get fixed. In fact on OpenSUSE it is the same thing. It has nothing to do with the ntpd source version, it is just the bickering about who provides what and who puts what in their package description. Apparently when you want to run a server PPS, you have to build the binary yourself. For no real reason, of course. Fortunately there is gpsd. At least those people know that you need to write a selfcontained package with directions and examples when you want things to be right. (another failure of the ntpd project: not providing a usable default config file, so distributors have to put one together and causing config mistakes because it is not their field of knowledge) _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
