Yeah, they tell me I added IPv6 support to a number of router products,
but I doubt I'd spend my time on something so commercially useless.
When you say "too many missing libraries", do you mean for
compiling
from source or at runtime with the precompiled binaries?
I tried the precompiled binaries first, getting them from a downloaded
tarball. I believe the first library they complained about not finding
was libcpre.
I could have extracted needed libraries from distribution RPMs and added
them to my local library path, but it seemed more efficient to build
from source and let ./configure do its job.
The Synthesis ./configure kept finding missing libraries too. I worked
around the first couple by disabling features, but I ended up feeling I
was creating a Frankenstein configuration that was probably missing key
functionality, and that you had never tested.
So I asked about alternative paths.
It sounds like I need to go back to assembling my own set of libraries
installed in the home directory.
Thanks for the help.
