Errors Installing Truecrypt
Hi,
Has anyone had any success installing Truecrypt on Linux? I'm running CENTOS/RHEL4 and there is no rpm so I'm building from source. I think that I have the dependencies sorted, but when I run build.sh I get the following:
Code:
[root@localhost Linux]# sh build.sh
Checking build requirements...

I had the very problem with Redhat EL. This is the reason:
"truecrypt-4.0/Linux/Kernel/Dm-target.c:16:16: dm.h: No such file or directory"
The Redhat Enterprise Linux kernel sources do not include dm.h, so the build fails. I had jump through a bunch of hoops to get it to compile. Please note, I am no expert. This is what worked for me. If anyone can suggest any shortcuts, please do.
1. Obtain and install kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm (puts it in /root/src/redhat/)
2. cd /root/src/redhat/SPECS
3. rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
4. cd /root/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/drivers/md/
5. cp * /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-22.0.1.EL-i686/drivers/md/
The build.sh then worked, once dm.h was found. I'm not sure what other files were necessary, which is the reason I copied md/* over. Hope this helps.

Well.. compiling on Slackware 10.2 was not difficult. Slackware 10.2 packages can be found here and my SlackBuild script is here.
Now, if anyone can tell me how to create a TrueCrypt container in Linux? It looks like I have to create one with the Windows version of TrueCrypt :-( And the TrueCrypt forum has been down for a week, bummer.
Cheers, Eric |

You are correct. It's not possible to create a TrueCrypt container in Linux. It must be created in Windows. Maybe that will change with the next version. |

I got the same problem while installing truecrypt on a rhel-as4.
But I just feel lucky because I found some pre-compiled rpm packages here:

Good Luck! |
