RE: make install problems on AIX

Hi,
Openssh is downloadable in rpm version on the ibm site. You might need the filutils package, also downloadable at the same place. So you don't have to recompile...

Subject: make install problems on AIX

Dear List,

I searched the archives for the openssh-devel for help with my installation problems. I did not have any luck. I am turning to this list in the hope that someone out there can help me out.

I am trying to install openssh 3.5 on AIX 4.3.3.

I installed egd 0.9 after the make install script failed with:

exec(): Cannot load program ssh-rand-helper because of the following errors:

Do you need help?

Even with egd running and with rerunning configure with the

I still get the same error. I was hoping the ssh-rand-helper error would go away if I instructed openssh to use egd instead.

If someone could point me in the right direction, or even explain what they mean by examining file headers with the dump command, I would be grateful.

Thanks,
Chris
