I have tried compiling tftp-hpa on Red Hat 7.3, 8.0, and Debian testing/unstable...I haven't been able to get readline to link on any of them, regardless of passing --with-readline. Likewise, I am having trouble getting regex maps to compile on Debian testing/unstable (though it works on Red Hat). Can anyone give me some pointers? I suspect something with autoconf, though I also saw something about possible licensing issues on one of the Debian lists. Thanks, Marty Jackson mhjacks at spam-me-not.swbell.net

Cute :( -hpa
