Hello Erik, thanks for the reply. I would like to document just what software and methods are required to get fbb7.04 going on a fresh install of Suse9.1. That means defining the actual binary or source rpm(s) used and other special steps. I am hoping to do this with only software provided on Suse9.1 DVD or ftp site. I have seen notes on patching fbb but that means compiling from source. That step too has its problems as there are at least two types of sources, the original distribution from F6FBB and the fbbsrv-src rpm from Suse. So I ask the list these specific questions: 1. Has anyone sucessfully installed fbb7.04h on Suse9.1 from the DVD/ftp rpm, fbbsrv-7.04h-316.i586.rpm ? If so, were there any special steps required, other than the usual changes to sys files etc? 2. If it is necessary to patch the above, can someone specify what source they used? Was it fbbsrv-7.04h-316.src.rpm or an original source archive? (This rpm source will not compile, a lot of errors like below:) /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/fbbsrc.704h/src # make gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -g -funsigned-char -D__LINUX__ -DPROTOTYPES -I../include -I/usr/include/netax25 -c -o arbre.o arbre.c In file included from /usr/include/netax25/axlib.h:28, from ../include/fbb_serv.h:47, from ../include/serv.h:97, from arbre.c:32: /usr/include/netax25/ax25.h:74: error: conflicting types for `ax25_address' /usr/include/linux/ax25.h:47: error: previous declaration of `ax25_address' /usr/include/netax25/ax25.h:77: error: redefinition of `struct sockaddr_ax25' /usr/include/netax25/ax25.h:87: error: redefinition of `struct full_sockaddr_ax25' --------------------- 3. Also please specify what other rpms were installed. Running install for fbbsrv from Yast gives dependency on libax25-0.0.10-177.rpm, but what ax25 rpms are required? The following are in the Suse DVD/ftp : ax25-apps-0.0.6-178.i586.rpm ax25spyd-0.23-687.i586.rpm ax25-tools-0.0.8-324.i586.rpm I know a lot of detail is being asked but considering the problems others have mentioned, we need to document these details explicitly. If this information on Suse9.1/fbbsrv7.04 is explained properly somewhere please let us know. 73, Ron --- Erik Jakobsen <erik@urbakken.dk> wrote:

I have used the version installed with SuSE 9.1, but now I'm running the fbb704j. It packed out where it should, and not as you have experienced the old places. I have no idea what the reason could be.
2. What other rpms or tools were required? (libax25, ax25-tools etc?)
I installed the ax25-apps, ax25-tools and libax25 alle from the 9.1 DVD.
3. Did you rebuild the kernel for ax25 or not?
No not at all.
About your problem opening the console, please find my writing about that in the xfbb archives found on hes.iki.fi.
What I wrote was also what patches were necessary for 9.1 and the 2.6 kernel.
If you cannot find it, you are most welcome back again.
HTH
Thanks & 73, Ron
