Iperf 1.6.5 on Debian 5.0 error

Hello,

I want to use an modified iperf version from cern.ch on debian 5.0 with kernel 2.6.26 and g++ 4.3 but I get this errors and I don't know where the problem is:

Code:

debian:/usr/src/iperf-1.6.5-hb-lksctp# make
rm -f lib/libdast.a

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/iperf-1.6.5-hb-lksctp/lib'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/iperf-1.6.5-hb-lksctp/lib'
rm -f iperf

/usr/bin/ld: error in ../lib/libdast.a(Socket.o)(.eh_frame); no .eh_frame_hdr table will be created.

I looked in the web, but I can't find something what helps.

Perhaps somebody has had the same problem and know a solution.

First thing, is there any special reason doing the build in /usr/src? /usr/local (or /opt) is the place for 3rd party installs and /usr/local/src (or /opt/src) for the related source.

This is a linking problem not a compile problem, so it is a bit hard to debug just from the error messages you posted.

I tried to get the source myself from cern but there seems to be a routing problem at the moment

Code:

% traceroute cern.ch

Can you tell me from where you downloaded the source?

Yeah, I downloaded it from http://datatag.web.cern.ch/datatag/WP3/sctp/tests.htm.

But I know the reason now. I don't looked that the .o files are exists. So I have done first make clean and then make && make install. I thought that the files aren't compiled in tar.gz...
Ok it works, so far.

But do you know a newer version about iperf with lksctp-kernel?
Because the openss7 is to old and not implemented all new things of sctp.
And the iperf version 1.6.5 not implemented all new test of the version 2.0.x

No sorry.

Have you considered applying the sctp patches to iperf 2.0? I had a look at the source you linked to and the changes seem quite minimal. So how easy is will only really depend on how much the iperf 2.0 codebase differs from iperf 1.6.5

The problem is, what I see...

In Iperf 1.6.5 from Cern the PerfSocket is written with classes.
In Iperf 2.0.8 from OpenSS7 it is all sequence code without classes.

I think that's to great for me to change all the classes.

Kind Regards
