(here's hoping this isn't a really dumb question.) i want to cross-compile dropbear independently and put it on an embedded linux system, so i checked the dropbear install on my fedora system for its dependencies:
$ rpm -qR dropbear /bin/bash /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh /sbin/service chkconfig >= 0.9 initscripts libc.so.6 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) libcrypt.so.1 libcrypt.so.1(GLIBC_2.0) libutil.so.1 libutil.so.1(GLIBC_2.0) libz.so.1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rtld(GNU_HASH) $ most of that looks fine -- the embedded system already has libc, libcrypt and libz installed. but what about libutil? a quick check shows that that comes from the glibc-devel package for fedora. what exactly is required from glibc-devel's libutil.so -- at least on a fedora system -- for dropbear installation? so i know if i have to cross-compile and install a bit more than what's already there. thanks muchly. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
