Hi Guys
I have a couple of remote servers (not _actually_ mine) running SUSE 6.1
in production. (Please don't bother to tell me to upgrade them. I am aware
of ALL the issues and so is the owner). Now I need to install fping on
these boxes, but the media has proven difficult to find. I have tried
downloading the fping src.rpm file from SUSE 9.0 (The oldest SUSE version
I could find on the FTP mirrors) but it has numerous macros etc in it
which cause it to not build properly on 6.1. I do have some SLES8 cds
around which will be my next try, before attempting to fix the spec file
manually (I did try for a few minutes, but it turns out that almost ALL of
the rpm macros in use today, did not exist on SUSE 6.1 so it is proving a
huge trial and error effort.
If any one has the SUSE 6.1 media kicking around I would appreciate them
shooting me a copy of the fping source rpm (There are 6.1 - 7.x boxes on
the network so I will need to build it for a few different versions) or
even the fping binary rpm.
Hi Guys
Thank you all for your help. 5 people sent me source and binary rpms for 7.x
but kudos go to Steven Jan Springl who sent me the source rpm for 6.1
Cheers
