Dave,
The system has libpcap-devel-1.0.0.5 installed
Fedora is RH's free linux distribution.
It uses Yum as install manager.

It runs the bridge program and I want to run simh on this box since it is cheap on mains power. Its battery is shot which is why my ex gave it to me.
I have libpcap installed and used 'make USE_NETWORK'=1' to build simh.
Which fails because it cannot locate
/usr/local/llib/libpcap.a
There is a libpcap.so, in /usr/lib
Am I running an old version of linux, or made an error installing libcap?
Hi! It sounds to me like you've got the runtime support for libpcap
installed, but not the "development" support.
For libraries, .so files (so == Shared Object) are used at runtime,
while .a (Archive) files are used at compile time. (well, more
specifically at link time). The former are dynamically-linked shared
libraries, whereas the latter are non-shared libraries for static linking.
These days, compilation support is rarely included by default on Linux
OS or package distributions to save space. One must explicitly install
the "dev" version of the library, which typically gets you .a files for
static linking, as well as the header (.h) files.
I've never seen Fedora 14, so I don't know exactly how its package
repository system works, but you'll need to find and install whatever
package corresponds to "libpcap-dev" or something very similarly named.
This should get you going.

OK,
I know I'm not really answering your question but have you tried installing it through an rpm?
I found one here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/17350842/dir/fedora_16/com/simh…

SG1:: and the Multinet Tunnel have returned to the Eastern US Hub. For
those who need it, resolve bridge.declab.net for the address.
Restoration of the bridge connection is in progress...

Have you in your " free source" some VAX or PDP hardware?
I would like to buy it..

Hi Guys,
That's my bad - the AlphaServer 1000A that runs hecnet.eu is currently
switched off but will be back up next week. I had previously implemented
a squid cache on a box that is always up 24/7 but an ubuntu upgrade and
not enough time mean that's not currently working - I'll take another
look when I get a chance.
Mark, what kind of content is there on hecnet.eu? I've started to get my web server for RSX running... ;-)

I know you are in the Netherlands (I'm in the US), but I'd *love* to have a free source for a DS[1-2]0. :) My normal sources for DEC hardware seem to have hit what is hopefully a temporary dry spell.

Lets call it for what it is - "legacy" is a term that people use in a
polite but derogatory manner to imply that the future direction they
prefer is not that which they view as the current direction.
