Very good.

You didn't need to do this. I'm not sure it hurts but it might.
Don't worry about it now.

}
} Any ideas?

Yes, you need to FTP to the Red Hat people at contrib.redhat.com
and in the /libc6/i386/ directory find the file ax25-util.....rpm that is
there. Install the rpm file and your all set.
The problem is that Red Hat 5.2 uses the newer libc6 and what your
trying to compile needs some patches to compile properly. This is a much
easier approach.
