I'm trying to install netcat on FC1 and I'm falling flat when I try to run the makefile. I run "make linux" (as root) as instructed in the makefile. This corresponds to the following rule: make -e $(ALL) $(MFLAGS) XFLAGS='-DLINUX' STATIC=-static CC=gcc The output I get is reprinted at the bottom of this post. I would really like to get netcat running, but I've run into the wall of my knowledge of linux at this point. It -appears- from the output below that I need "the glibc version for linking", but I don't even know what that is. I have glibc installed from yum. I searched Google but couldn't find anything helpful to me. Also, precisely what I'm trying to install is: Netcat 1.10 for Unix, version 03.20.96. If there is any other useful info I can give, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
