    libraries that support programs that use the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) 
    API. It replaces the RPC, but not the NIS library entries that 
    used to be in glibc.</para>

    <para>Glibc-2.14 and later do not install NIS and RPC related headers by

<screen><userinput>if [ ! -r /usr/include/rpc/rpc.h ]; then
   tar -xvf ../rpcnis-headers.tar.bz2 -C /usr/include
fi</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install <application>libtirpc</application> by running the following
    commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../libtirpc-&libtirpc-version;-remove-nis-2.patch &amp;&amp;
autoreconf                              &amp;&amp;

    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><userinput>patch -Np1 -i
    ../libtirpc-&libtirpc-version;-remove-nis-2.patch</userinput>: This patch
    removes references to nis functions no longer in
    <application>glibc</application>.</para>

    <para><option>--libdir=/lib</option>: Since this library may be used before 
    /usr is mounted, place the library in /lib.</para>

    <para><option>pkgconfigdir=/usr/lib/pkgconfig</option>: Ensure the .pc file
    is placed in the proper location.</para>

    <para><option>mv -v /lib/libtirpc.*a</option>: Static libraries and .la files
    belong in /usr/lib.</para>
