Hi, I have * running on a SuSE Email Server II, which uses an older libc-version. Calls to res_ninit et al. from enum.c prevent asterisk from building on that system. Could that possibly be changed to use res_init and res_search in order to provide backward compatibility with these systems ? Thanks, Holger von Ameln

Linux distros are free, and upgrading to a new distro is probably preferred so you don't risk any exploits on that machine. If you are using it in production for some other task, you may wish to rethink what is critical to you. Also don't count on backwards compatibility as you never know when it will be ripped out of a new distro, and the newer distro would be preferred over the old one even if the newer one is a RH X.0 release.> Thanks, > > Holger von Ameln > > _______________________________________________ > Asterisk-Users mailing list > Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users-- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
