Hello, You guys seem to be right about rpcgen:
root@Csabi:/tmp/cde-2.5.1 # rpcgen -h lib/csa/agent.x | grep AGENTVERS /usr/bin/ld:lib/csa/agent.x: file format not recognized; treating as linker script /usr/bin/ld:lib/csa/agent.x:22: syntax error collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status rpcgen: C preprocessor failed with exit code 1 It seems that the version Debian 11 shipped is not good enough. The package rpcsvc-proto is not available under Debian 11, it is only available in Debian 12, Debian testing and Debian unstable. Under Debian 11 the package libc-dev-bin provides rpcgen. root@Csabi:/tmp/cde-2.5.1 # dpkg -S `which rpcgen` libc-dev-bin: /usr/bin/rpcgen root@Csabi:/tmp/cde-2.5.1 # apt-cache policy rpcsvc-proto N: Ez a csomag nem található: rpcsvc-proto root@Csabi:/tmp/cde-2.5.1 # dpkg-query -L libc-dev-bin | grep rpcgen /usr/bin/rpcgen /usr/share/man/man1/rpcgen.1.gz I always clean the buildtree or even delete the entire directory and re-extract it, before i restart the compiling. - TCH Sent with Proton Mail secure email.
