statically linked route
2007-12-25 8:25:00
I asked for a statically linked version of route, to put in /sbin.
Answers:
(1) Several people mailed me the source (route.c) from a package
called "Xkernel". The most recent version I received (I beleive) was
from Xkernel-1.5 (From: Tim Rosmus <tim@mdd.comm.mot.com>). The
Xkernal package is available from sol.ctr.columbia.edu:/Xkernel
(probably from other places too, but this is where several people have
refered to). John Allen of the NERSC has an interesting point (observe
the ID strings...):

(2) Some people referred to the BSD source, freely FTPable from
somewhere (I don't know from where?).
(3) Several people mentioned that I could move the libraries on whith
route depends to a local /usr/lib and then use the dynamically linked
version of route. (Special thanks to "Donald A. MacLeod"
<dmacleod@mailbox.syr.edu> for the 'suinstall' script which helps in
installing WS with my problem.) I have used this solution, but I like
to minimize the stuff on the local disk. I find it a "cleaner"
solution with a static rdist.
(4) One person (From: john@mlb.semi.harris.com (John M. Blasik))
mentioned that he got if from Sun. (Thanks John, but I'll try the
Xkernel route first.) I guess this means that Sun does provide us with
this, at least under som circumstances?
My plan is that we go with the Xkernel route.c. I haven't had time to
test this yet; I summarize anyway since I'm off for a two weeks
mountain hike this saturday. When I get back, it's hopefully installed
and running!
Thanks all who have helped me with this!
