Greetings,

I usually always choose src files over rpms still. XISP works excellent
under S.u.S.E. 5.0 & 5.1. I have used it and probably will until we get
our cable modem service here.

To compile a version for you box, un-pack into a working
sub-directory; I have named simply "work" for this stuff.
Using guzip -dc xisp-2.3p5.tar.gz | tar xvf -
I decompress. Then use a text editor and comment out
the vars in the Makefile like this:

# Normal vars
#-------------
#BINX11    = usr/X11R6/bin
#USRLOCAL  = usr/local/bin
#SBINDIR   = usr/sbin
#VARRUN    = var/run
#USRLIBPPP = usr/lib/ppp
#OPTSDIR   = usr/lib/ppp
#MANDIR    = usr/X11R6/man/man1
#ETCPPP    = etc/ppp
#DESTDIR   =
#GROUP     = uucp
#GCCFLAGS  = -Wall -O
#EXTRALIBS =

And uncomment the RedHat vars like this:

# Red Hat vars
#--------------
BINX11    = usr/X11R6/bin
USRLOCAL  = usr/bin
SBINDIR   = usr/sbin
VARRUN    = var/run
USRLIBPPP = $(SBINDIR)
OPTSDIR   = etc/ppp
MANDIR    = usr/man/man1
ETCPPP    = etc/ppp
DESTDIR   = $(RPM_BUILD_ROOT)
GROUP     = root
GCCFLAGS  = $(RPM_OPT_FLAGS)
EXTRALIBS =

Then save as Makefile and as root (su to root), just type make
in the working subdirectory you decompressed the file in.
Typing make install will install the binary.

If you need anything else let me know.

Best Regards
