I'm getting constant type -50 errors with netatalk, so I'm trying to upgrade netatalk. I'm reading the DOC files, but I am unsure how to get it to install everything in the right place. What are some of the differences between how SuSE is organized and how the netatalk binaries are organized? They are probably based on RedHat. Do RedHat users have as much trouble installing things? Seems I always need to modify files and thus I rarely can install things successfully. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I would think your best option would be to look at the spec file from the netatalk.src.rpm that SuSE uses and see what configure options they have used. While doing that you may find package build to be usefull for creating a new rpm. Of course YMMV -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx

How would I be able to read this file? And where would I find it? I just tried: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=../etc/atalk Would ./configure be the place to try to get netalk to land i nthe right place? On it's own it goes into /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/etc/netatalk and I need it to go into /usr/sbin and /etc/atalk i got all kinds of errors from the "../" part though. Can I just install this thing wherever and forget /etc/atalk? I can get netatalk to work, it's just not in the places SuSE seems to put them. How then would I control starting atalkd at startup? I guess the runlevel editor won't be able to do it since the files are out of place. I'm a video/graphics person. I'm not an admin, although I am forced to do all this stuff. Takes me days to do 15 minute tasks. Stressful.
While doing that you may find package build to be usefull for creating a new rpm.
I'd love to build an rpm, but I have no idea how. I can barely compile things.
Of course YMMV
My mileage varies quite a bit! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.yahoo.com

In your CD's actually using "pin" CD6/suse/zq2/netatalk-1.5.1.1-35.src.rpm

Again use the CD's and in YaST2 search for "build" It is a tool for building RPM's I use it all the time
