alo...i am new to linux and recently i wanan install a protocol called mobile mesh into my fedora core 4. I saved the file in desktop and tried to follow the instructions of installation provided inside the files downloaded. Unfortunately, i am not able to install the program even on the first step. If u know the solutions pls drop ur suggestions and ideas here. Thx a lot.
( Below are the installation guide from the downloaded file) :
The Mobile Mesh software was developed for a Linux 2.2.X kernel. It's
quite possible that it may run under 2.3.X kernels as well, but, the
author has not tested this.
Take the following steps to build and install the Mobile Mesh
software:
1) make depends
This will update the file "depends.mk" with your system's header file
locations.
2) make
This step will build all the Mobile Mesh binaries including:
mmdiscover
mmrp
mmborder
mmtodot
You may want to edit the Makefile. My system's include file
<asm/socket.h> does not define SO_ATTACH_FILTER which is needed by the
Mobile Mesh software. I have provided a newer version of this header
file (taken from the kernel sources) under the "include-fixes"
directory that does define SO_ATTACH_FILTER. If you wish to use your
own system's header file, edit the Makefile and remove the
"-Iinclude-fixes" part of the CXXFLAGS statement.
3) make install
Note: You must be root to do this.
This step will:
a) install the binaries and executable shell scripts in /usr/bin
b) create the directory /var/run/mobilemesh. This directory is where
the Unix sockets that provide interprocess communication amongst the
Mobile Mesh programs reside.
c) create the directory /etc/mobilemesh and install default
configuration files in it.
4) make install-man
This step will install man pages for the Mobile Mesh programs in the
system's man directory.
