Hello
i have just built a new computer to act as an FTP server. I have decided, after some research, to use vsftpd as the server software on my slackware 10.2 install.
I have downloaded the newest version of vsftpd and have unzipped the .tar.gz file i downloaded, i then cd to the folder it has created and type the make command, as instructed to do so in the install text file, and i get the following:
-bash: make: command not found
I have dabbled with linux here and there and have never had this problem before. Could anyone suggest a method to solving this problem?
ok i have done that and when i tried make it worked but then required gcc which is also not installed in my installation by the looks of things, so i found that on the same website and downloaded and installed that in the same way.
Now i have hit a slight wall, i run the make command in the folder and i get this:
gcc -c main.c -02 -Wall -W -Wshadow -idrafter dummyinc
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'as': No such file or directory
make: *** [main.o] Error 1
