I received some great help from the Xastir folks but have a little more to go. Anyway, I have your "vector" and other issues have already been solved with these new patches and I should be able to give you a hand. I do plan on releasing a .debs in the future but until then, try this for non-RPM based systems: # 0 - Your dependencies will be gcc, perl, ncurses-libs, libax25, and ax25mail-utils # All compiling details can be found here: http://www.trinityos.com/HAM/CentosDigitalModes/hampacketizing-centos.html#11.linpac # 1 - I highly advise you do NOT compile things on your Rpi's SD card - it will wear it out. Do all your compiling # via an NFS mount or an attached USB hard drive , etc. # 2 - Get the sources (please note that the Ncurses based Linpac is the one I've been focusing so far) cd wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/linpac/LinPac-unstable/0.17pre3/LinPac-0.17pre3.tar.gz # 3 - Uncompress Linpac tar xzvf LinPac-0.17pre3.tar.gz #4 - Get all the required patches cd LinPac-0.17pre3 wget -r -l1 --no-parent --no-directories -Alinpac0* http://www.trinityos.com/HAM/CentosDigitalModes/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ #5 - Apply the patches patch -p0 < linpac0-digi-length.diff patch -p0 < linpac0-pcskprsnd.diff patch -p0 < linpac0-compile-fixes.diff patch -p0 < linpac0-compile-fixes2.diff #6 - Configure and build it ./configure --prefix=/usr make The compiler is still throwing warnings but it builds ok on Centos6.5 today. I would appreciate any feedback on how to clean up the warnings as I'd like to get a 100% clean build before I post this new version on SF.net. #7 - Configure it up by reading the included manual.html documentation and http://www.trinityos.com/HAM/CentosDigitalModes/hampacketizing-centos.html#11a.linpacconfig PS. I'm not on the Rpi list but if you would, please cross-post this response over there as well. I'd love to get more users on Linpac and get some additional developers on board! --David KI6ZHD > Over on the RPi list questions are being asked about a packet terminal > program for the RPi to satisfy a mild renewal of interest in connected > mode packet.
