Very Computer

Hi All

2 Questions

PPP -1
I'm trying to get ppp-2.4.1 to install but get the Driver Failed to
Attach on install.
I've seen a simmilar question that gcc had a problem with memset and
tried Anton Rang code in ppp.c but still get the error.

Anyone else got it to work ? if so how.
(Please note that I'm a system administrator NOT a programmer)

Running Solaris 8 4/01 with MU6
Gcc 2-95-2

If I can't get the above to work then question 2
PPP -2
I've got the old asppp to work (a bit) but after MU6 it said use ppp.
I removed ALL (4) the asppp packages and then wondered which ones I
should install from disk 2. All the documents I found on BigAdmin
point to Solaris V9 which you need to have a beta login account to
view them (Silly).
Any How-To's out there for PPPV4 like kempston / Celeste's wonderful
creations?

Thanks in Advance

Compile using Sun's compiler or use the bundled implementation
instead.

Yes; ANU PPP (the one you're trying to compile and install) now comes
with Solaris.  No need to compile it yourself.

That's not necessary, but it won't hurt.  The two can coexist
peacefully.

Yeah, I know.  The main packages are:

        SUNWpppd
        SUNWpppdu
        SUNWpppdr

If you're on a 64 bit system, then you also need SUNWpppdx.  If you
have MU6 or later, you can add PPPoE support by installing SUNWpppdt.
There are also two packages that hold the GNU-tainted bits from the
original ANU PPP distribution:

        SUNWpppg
        SUNWpppgS

You don't actually need these two, though.  They have just the
minconn/passprompt plugins and the 'pppdump' user level utility, all
of which is rarely used.

This site is helpful:

        http://home.earthlink.net/~jaymzh666/solaris/

Just about any site that discusses PPP on Linux will help with the
underlying PPP implementation now available on Solaris.
