Hi,

I am trying to instal openss7 package ( sigtran) on my kubuntu 8.04. but when I type ./configure if always fail with cause /arch/i386 directory is missing.

I checked and really I do not have that directory. I installed kernel headers.
What to install in order to get that directory.

/thanks,

Re: openss7

I can't check Adept Manager at the moment as I'm in the process of downloading/installing a large number of updates.

Where did you obtain the package, and how was it packaged (what is the full package name)? It sounds like 1) you download the RedHat version, which unless you run the package file through Alien is almost certainly not going to install, or 2) the package isn't going to work with Kubuntu.

Hi,

I downloaded package from this link:
http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/sigtran-0.9.2.3.tar.gz

On the web page they stated that it was tested on ubuntu 7.10 ( i have 8.04)

Re: openss7

Did you read the README file within the archive package? Some observations from scanning it:

Prerequisites
--------------

The quickest and easiest way to ensure that all prerequisites are met
is to download and install this package from within the `OpenSS7 Master
Package', `openss7-0.9.2.F', instead of separately.

Prerequisites for the OpenSS7 STREAMS SIGTRAN package are as follows:

1. `Linux' distribution, somewhat `Linux Standards Base' compliant,
with a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel and the appropriate tool chain for
compiling out-of-tree kernel modules. Most recent `Linux'
distributions are usable out of the box, but some development
packages must be installed. For more information, see
`Compatibility', in the manual.

- A fairly LSB compliant GNU/Linux distribution.(1)
- Linux 2.4 kernel (2.4.10 - 2.4.27), or
- Linux 2.6 kernel (2.6.3 - 2.6.21);
- glibc2 or better.
- GNU info (for info files).
- GNU groff (for man pages).(2)

(Note: If you acquired `sigtran' a part of the `OpenSS7 Master
Package', then the dependencies listed below will already have been met
by unpacking the master package.)

2. `OpenSS7 Linux Fast-STREAMS', streams-0.9.2.3
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/streams-0.9.2.3.tar.bz2). (3)

3. `OpenSS7 STREAMS Compatibility Modules',
strcompat-0.9.2.6
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/strc....9.2.6.tar.bz2).

4. `OpenSS7 STREAMS XNS', strxns-0.9.2.6
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/strxns-0.9.2.6.tar.bz2).

5. `OpenSS7 STREAMS XTI/TLI', strxnet-0.9.2.11
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/strx...9.2.11.tar.bz2).

6. `OpenSS7 STREAM Network Services Library', strnsl-0.9.2.3
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/strnsl-0.9.2.3.tar.bz2).
(Optional.)

7. `OpenSS7 STREAMS Sockets', strsock-0.9.2.3
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/strsock-0.9.2.3.tar.bz2).
(Optional.)

8. `OpenSS7 STREAMS INET', strinet-0.9.2.6
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/strinet-0.9.2.6.tar.bz2).

9. `OpenSS7 STREAMS SCTP', strsctp-0.9.2.8
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/strsctp-0.9.2.8.tar.bz2).

10. `OpenSS7 STREAMS Channels', striso-0.9.2.3
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/strchan-0.9.2.3.tar.bz2).

11. `OpenSS7 STREAMS ISO', striso-0.9.2.3
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/striso-0.9.2.3.tar.bz2).

12. `OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN', strisdn-0.9.2.3
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/strisdn-0.9.2.3.tar.bz2).

13. `OpenSS7 STREAMS SS7', strss7-0.9a.7
(http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/strss7-0.9a.7.tar.bz2).

When installing packages that install as kernel modules, it is
necessary to have the correct kernel development package installed.
For the following distributions, use the following commands:

Ubuntu: $> apt-get install linux-headers
Debian: $> apt-get install kernel-headers
Fedora: $> yum install kernel-devel

You also need the same version of `gcc(1)' compiler with which the
kernel was built. If it is not the default, add `CC=kgcc' on the line
after `./configure', for example:

$> ../sigtran-0.9.2.3/configure CC='gcc-3.4'

The README file seems to have very good installation instructions.
