I'm a Slackware user at work, and a RedHat wannabe user at home.
Apologies in advance for this message, it may be slightly out
of place here, but you gotta start somewhere.
I'm happily dual booting Red Hat 5.1 with Windoze. I want to get
connected, though, so I ftp'd the diald source, and tried compiling it,
and got tons of error messages from the standard headers. I tried
downloading a newer version of the headers, and it didn't seem to
help. I think i have mismatched versions of kernel headers, c headers,
and possibly even run time libraries. How can I tell what I have?
Where do I get the right ones? Where's a good place to find out?
Should I just reinstall with 5.1? Or should I just compile a static
version (at work on Slackware) and skip the whole thing?
Also along the same vein (in that I don't know where to start),
I went on reading the HOWTO, and saw 'you must have PPP built
into your kernel'. I found out that 5.1 supports loadable modules,
so I tried
insmod ppp
and got something like
module ppp was built for 2.0.34, you have 2.0.32
which I can grok, but don't know the best way to remedy this problem.
Where should I start? Download a newer kernel? Download an
older ppp.o? Just get RHat 5.2 CD and reinstall?
Thanks, any help will be appreciated. Reply directly to my email
and I'll post a summary if anyone is interested.
