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.

OK, the best bet then is probably to build the binaries on another system, and link them statically. I.e. find a linux box where you can build the Hobbit client. Run the normal "./configure --client", then edit the generated Makefile and near the bottom right after where it says

Add local CFLAGS etc. settings here

add this line: CFLAGS=-static

Then run "make" as usual and "make install", then you should be able to just copy the client directory to the secured servers.

Regards, Henrik
