Hi all Please excuse my newbie questions and please don't accuse me of not RTFMing, I've so far spent four hours trying to install netcat.
Here's what I did, I looked on disk 4 of my RedHat 8.0 CDs and saw nc-1.10-16.src.rpm. That's exactly what I want. I double click the file and enter the root password the a gui comes up and disappears. So now I know the source for netcat is somewhere on my system. Think I can find it? No way. So next I download nc110.tgz from the web and try to install that. After a compile error I managed to resolve by googling the error I get "make linux" to work as the README says. I have an NC file in the /usr/src/netcat directory where I extracted and ran make from but typing "nc" or "bash nc" I get errors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@lemsip netcat]# make linux make -e nc XFLAGS='-DLINUX' STATIC=-static make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/netcat' cc -O -s -DLINUX -static -o nc netcat.c make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/netcat' [root@lemsip netcat]# ls Changelog generic.h nc netcat.blurb netcat.c~ scripts data Makefile nc110.tgz netcat.c README stupidh [root@lemsip netcat]# nc bash: nc: command not found [root@lemsip netcat]# bash nc nc: nc: cannot execute binary file ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If someone could put me out of my misery I'd appreciate it.
