Re: Xfbb7.04h rpm install on Suse9.1 Pro

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
