Hi Peter, I have the 6.1 media. Would you like me to email you the fping package off list? Just the source package or binary too? Cheers, James. On Friday 18 May 2007 07:37, Peter Nixon wrote:
Hi Guys
I have a couple of remote servers (not _actually_ mine) running SUSE 6.1 in production. (Please don't bother to tell me to upgrade them. I am aware of ALL the issues and so is the owner). Now I need to install fping on these boxes, but the media has proven difficult to find. I have tried downloading the fping src.rpm file from SUSE 9.0 (The oldest SUSE version I could find on the FTP mirrors) but it has numerous macros etc in it which cause it to not build properly on 6.1. I do have some SLES8 cds around which will be my next try, before attempting to fix the spec file manually (I did try for a few minutes, but it turns out that almost ALL of the rpm macros in use today, did not exist on SUSE 6.1 so it is proving a huge trial and error effort.
If any one has the SUSE 6.1 media kicking around I would appreciate them shooting me a copy of the fping source rpm (There are 6.1 - 7.x boxes on the network so I will need to build it for a few different versions) or even the fping binary rpm.
Thanks in Advance
