'make' netcat 1

[peterve]

OS: Redhat 7.1

I've downloaded the netcat utility,
placed in in /utils/netcat,

and when I run 'make linux', I get this output :

make -e nc XFLAGS='-DLINUX' STATIC=-static
make[1]: Entering directory '/utils/netcat'
cc -0 -s -DLINUX -static -o nc netcat.c
/tmp/ccwy0ACq.o: In function 'main':
/tmp/ccwy0ACq.o(.text+0x159f): undefined reference to 'res_init'
collect2: Id returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [nc] Error1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/utils/netcat'
make: *** [Linux] Error 2

that's it.. so it doesn't work...
what did I do wrong ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work

Hi,

It should be OK if you just comment out the line with res_init() in netcat.c . However, why not grab the rpm from the old RH5.2 powertools collection --> ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/5.2/en/powertools/i386/netcat-1.10-1.i386.rpm .
