Installing PopTop on Mandrake 10

Echo Kilo · 12-20-2004, 11:14 PM

Hi folks, I'm using Mandrake 10.

When I try to install poptop by typing:

# rpm --install pptpd-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm

I get the following error:

error: Failed dependencies:
ppp >= 2.4.3 is needed by pptpd-1.2.1-1
libwrap.so.0 is needed by pptpd-1.2.1-1

I can't seem to find libwrap.so.0 for MANDRAKE anywhere. Can anyone help?

I am also having the same problem with Redhat 7.3.
Yum'ed everything up to date, but was still unable to install Poptop.
The file libwrap.so.0 appears to be in later distro's (RH9, FC1/2/3) but not in 7.3

Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

To get around the problem, you have to manually compile the source and in the source is a flag whether to use libwrap or not.
