ianw1974 Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I have squid installed as my http proxy, which works perfectly fine. This will handle ftp also, but if it comes directly from your web browser. I've not been able to successfully configure an FTP client to work with squid. I found two ftp proxy packages, one called ftpproxy (ftp.proxy) or frox. However, neither seem to be intuitive, and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to get them working. ftpproxy starts on my machine perfectly fine, but I just can't get my clients to integrate with it. If anyone has configured ftpproxy or frox, I'd be very grateful of how you managed to get it working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_balest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 anybody can please me give the link to download Frox in RPM? because all I got are .tar.gz version and it can't be installed... checking for C compiler default output file name configure:error: C compiler, cannot create executables.

ianw1974 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 They only do rpm for suse and you shouldn't really install these on mandy or any other rpm distro. Your only way forward is to compile. And it seems you have some gcc components missing. Do: rpm -qa | grep gcc to see what you have installed.

r_balest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 ian, here's the result: gcc-4.0.1.-5mdk gcc-cpp-4.0.1-5mdk libgcc-1-4.0.1-5mdk so? am i missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Could you post more than the last line of the error, we might be able to find out what it's wanting. From the above, I've no idea, since I don't compile much anyway. But here are the results of a google I did: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&s...earch&meta= and here is a particular post relating to Mandriva: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...ad.php?t=461804 maybe it'll help.

r_balest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 uh i've tried to find what's wrong. but still can't find it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I can't either :P The last link I provided hinted at some packages to make sure you had installed - I'm guessing that you've read and checked this?!? If so, and you have them installed and it's still not working, I've no idea as the error you posted doesn't give me much information to work with unfortunately. Google did give me some results, but you'd have to go through them all and try them to see at fixing your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_balest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) yes i've checked them and i've made sure that it's just installed good.. uh i'm having a headache towards this... :( Edited November 16, 2006 by r_balest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'm gonna show you a nice command called urpmf. It's a great utility for searching through your urpmi repositories to find a package you want. For example, from my system: [ian@europa ~]$ urpmf --name automake automake1.8 automake1.8 automake1.7 automake1.4 so that's your first problem solved about automake being missing. It's in the urpmi repository, so now all you need to do is install with this: urpmi automake job done. Now I used the same command again for autoconf: [ian@europa ~]$ urpmf --name autoconf autoconf2.1 autoconf2.5 autoconf2.1 autoconf2.5 you can install this now too. Unfortunately, no package called aclocal or autoheader. So let's see what we can do next. Try: urpmf --files aclocal and repeat for autoheader. It seems it's in a lot of files, but the common one here is that it's in automake. I found this from my results, so install the top two packages I mentioned, and see how you get on. Try to remember this command, it's very helpful for solving your own problems, and helps you learn a bit more along the way. It's very easy to ask questions, but it's even better to try as well. Alternatively to the command line, you can go into Install Software and do the same type of searches that I've done from the command line - in case you prefer the gui.

ianw1974 Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Nope, never used it :P Tried, couldn't get it to work and it wasn't too important in the end anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
