It worked ;-)
I did just like you said ....
OK, the best bet then is probably to build the binaries on another
system, and link them statically. I.e. find a linux box where you can
build the Hobbit client. Run the normal "./configure --client", then
edit the generated Makefile and near the bottom right after where it
says
# Add local CFLAGS etc. settings here
add this line:
CFLAGS=-static
Then run "make" as usual and "make install", then you should be able to
just copy the client directory to the secured servers.
It required some hand editing of the source codes files to link to the
currect headers in the include directories.
But it worked, and its working now :-)
thanx so much, michael

Henrik,
Thanx so much for getting back to me so quickly. The problem is that I
am running a very, very secure version of Linux called Secure Platform
from Checkpoint.
They made their own gcc libraries and compiler and Make is not
installed. So I downloaded "Make" and tried compiling it and when i try
and run ./configure it breaks because the C-compiler is not allowed to
create executables. I cant upgrade the libraries because it will break
the software.
