Netware-Client ncpfs 1

[bateman23]

I want to install the package ncpfs (Version 2.2.0.1). -So I downloaded the sources (I think it was ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/misc/ncpfs/ and another time the metalab-Server).
I unpacked everything to /usr/src/ncpfs/ncpfs2.2.01 and typed "make" to compile it (just how said in the readme).
But everytime it stoped at the same position:

that's it... what's wrong??
I've no ideas. I'm using Mandrake 8.0 and the new Kernel 2.4.9

Perhaps somebody knows what's wrong...
Thanks,

Hi,

There were quite a few changes in header files for various versions of the 2.4.x series kernels and it looks like that could be the problem. Looking at the official maintainers ftp site --> ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/ncpfs/latest/ the last version is dated 5 jun 2000 so may well not be 100% compatible with the 2.4 kernel headers.

Maybe you'd be better off getting a complied rpm --> ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/8.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ncpfs-2.2.0.18.a-3mdk.i586.rpm or a src.rpm --> ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/8.0/SRPMS/ncpfs-2.2.0.18.a-3mdk.src.rpm .

Hi and thanks,

I couldn't believe it's that easy.... ;-)
But - one problem solved, another occured:
Whenever i run the command slist the following error-message is displayed :
slist: Server not found (0x8847) in ncp_open

Is ncp_open a file, or what ?(it doesn't exist on my system)
I think i configured ipx correctly with ipx-configure --auto_interface=on --auto_prmary=on .
And i did it manually with: device: eth0 and frame-type: Ether2 - i think everything is right.

..and my kernel is compiled with ipx support (I think so) - at least there are messages about ipx when linux is booting.

I'm helpless.... :-(
