May be a stupid question, but the INSTALL.SunOS4 talks about running 'make install' in the SunOS4 folder. I'm running Solaris 8, which is SunOS 5.8, correct? So I should run 'make install' in the SunOS5 folder, correct? (that's what I did last time, but figured I should check this time)
Don't read the wrong install file!! Read INSTALL.Solaris2. Solaris 8 ~~ Solaris 2.8.
SunOS4 = SunOS4 < Solaris 2.0
ah, that's a bit better. Now the three binaries (ipf, ipfs, and ipfstat) run without error. The fragmented packet problem is still there, and I'm seeing about 22% packet loss pinging a machine on the same switch as this one. I'm wondering if my prior installation attempts installed some files I shouldn't have, and they are now fscking up the IP stack. Is there a good way to be sure, other than reinstalling solaris, that I've purged everything? I've considered uninstalling the two packages and installing the latest comprehensive patch set. But with the current fragmented packet problem, I have use split to break up files into small chunks (100 bytes works best) and transfer each chunk individually (scp -r works nice for this), then cat all the chunks back into the original filename once they're there. Doing this on an 80 MB file would seriously suck.
