Hello all,

I'm a first time poster, but have been searching this forum for a while finding answers to my problems. Thanks to all in the community.

I've set up my first Linux box as a testbed for different server software.

Distro is Slackware 10, which runs winderfully for my purposes.

I decided I wanted to install FreeSwan, so I grabbed the latest along with gmp-4.1.4 which the docs said it needed.

Upon attempting a ./configure on gmp, it starts, then exits with an error. I looked in the configure logfile:

$ ./configure

configure: exit 1

The main problem my newbish eyes can see is "conftest.sh: command not found"

That seems like it would be a problem. I've been unable to locate this file on my slack box.

Is this common???

Thanks

Brad

I've looked everywhere, but still cannot find this file. Is it even needed?

Thanks

J
