It replaces the RPC, but not the NIS library entries that used to be in glibc. &lfs72_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libtirpc-md5sum; Download size: &libtirpc-size; Estimated disk space required: &libtirpc-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libtirpc-time; Additional Downloads Required header tar file (Add rpc/nis headers): Required Patch (Remove nis dependencies): libtirpc Dependencies Required Optional libgssapi User Notes: Installation of libtirpc Glibc 2.14 and later does not install NIS and RPC related headers by default. If needed, install them by running the following command as the root user: if [ ! -r /usr/include/rpc/rpc.h ]; then tar -xvf ../rpcnis-headers.tar.bz2 -C /usr/include fi Install libtirpc by running the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../libtirpc-&libtirpc-version;-remove-nis-2.patch && sed "s@AM_CONFIG_HEADER@AC_CONFIG_HEADERS@g" -i configure.ac && autoreconf -fi && ./configure --prefix=/usr CFLAGS="-fPIC" && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && mv -v /usr/lib/libtirpc.so.* /lib && ln -sfv ../../lib/libtirpc.so.1.0.10 /usr/lib/libtirpc.so Command Explanations sed "s@AM_CONFIG_HEADER@AC_CONFIG_HEADERS@g" -i configure.ac: This sed fixes some issues with Automake 1.13 and later. mv -v /usr/lib/libtirpc.so.* ...: Move shared libraries into /lib so they are available before /usr is mounted.
