I downloaded a 2.4.4 ppp package and did the following to compile it
for my omap-osk:

./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=/root/Desktop/pppbuild
make
make install

then i copied the binaries to the filesystem of my omap. but when i
say: "pppd -h" the system hangs. i guess this is because my filessytem
files are not proper or i didnt compile them properly.
please help.
thank you,
regards
