That webpage is telling you how to build from source.

All the simh commands I've got (from the Fedora 14 version) are prefixed with "simh-" - so I've got a choice of simh-vax or simh-vax780. But nothing in /usr/local... >> You might need to rebuild libpcap from source to get that; the package >> usually comes with a .so for dynamic linking, rather than the .a. >> > > Thanks - but how do I do this? Get the source package from your repo, unpack it, and build it. I don't remember the details under Debian-style distros; I do rpms. >> Alternatively, you might find that simh can be built >for shared > libraries. > > Again - thanks - but not sure how to do this. You'd have to look through the build options in the simh source package . But again - I suspect all you actually need to do is to find the right name for the executable. What date is on the webpage you are following?
