Re: checkpassword-0.90 compilation problems, Help.

Thanks for your response.

I went to ftp://moni.csi.hu/pub/glibc-2.3.1/ to get the rpm but then
noticed the patch file.

I have used the patch and it is now compiled and install fine.

Thanks for your help Mate (and everyone else who responed)

Regards

Mat Taylor.
