Henrik,
Thanx so much for getting back to me so quickly. The problem is that I am running a very, very secure version of Linux called Secure Platform from Checkpoint. They made their own gcc libraries and compiler and Make is not installed. So I downloaded "Make" and tried compiling it and when i try and run ./configure it breaks because the C-compiler is not allowed to create executables. I cant upgrade the libraries because it will break the software.
Here is the output:
[Expert at hobfw]# ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. [Expert at hobfw]#
Is there anyway to manually install the hobbit-client ??? or any other cool ideas you have ???
thanx, michael

I have some systems that i would like to install the hobbit client on, but they are running an older version of glibc-2.2.4 . I cant upgrade glib because of conflicts with the vendors software and support contract issues.
Is there a problem with just building (compiling) the Hobbit client on these older systems ? That would be the simplest solution.
If you download the source-version of Hobbit (the hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz file from Sourceforge), copy it over to one of these boxes, and unpack it with "tar zxf hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz". cd into the hobbit-4.2.0 directory and run "./configure --client", followed by "make" and "make install". That should give you a client, built for this type of system.
When you're only building the client, you do not need any of the special libraries that the Hobbit server needs. It's designed to work on an almost "bare" system.
Regards, Henrik
