This looks like an executable binary. You can just download it, make it
executable (with a file manager or on the console with 'chmod 755
/path/to/file'. But I suggest you use apt instead.

it doesnot see to be a .deb package
Correct.

I am not able to install ckermit using

#apt-get install ckermit

because I chose "no" while I was asked about instaling non-free
software while configuring apt during debian install. How do I change
that??
Open your /etc/apt/sources.list with a text editor. You most probably
have lines like these (mirror or distribution may differ):

deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/       sarge           main contrib

Just add the word 'non-free' after 'main contrib' in all lines and try
an 'apt-get update'. If you get some 404 Errors, remove non-free from
the offending lines.

Thankyou so much Jochen :-)

kind regards

Siju




C-Kermit 2.11 .debs are in ftp://ftp.columbia.edu/kermit/archives
Just download the appropriate one and use "dpkg -i" to install it.

Otherwise, if you want to use the "latest and greatest" C-Kermit, and have gcc installed, you can grab ftp://ftp.columbia.edu/kermit/test/tar/x.tar.gz then compile an appropriate Linux target.

I have libssl-dev, zlib1g-dev, libpam0g-dev, checkinstall installed and edit the C-Kermit makefile to install to /usr, man pages in /usr/share/man, plus
SLLIB=-L$(sslroot)/lib/ssl
SSLINC=-I$(sslroot)/include/openssl

add:

 -DOPENSSL_097

to CFLAGS in my makefile target

and run:

make linux+openssl+zlib+shadow+pam

then as root:

checkinstall make install

The example above creates a binary which can be used as a telnet-ssl client with the telnetd-ssl package available in Debian.

I'm not a C programmer, but I've never had to alter more than a few makefile lines as above to compile C-Kermit under Debian.

Arthur.
