[Gluster-devel] 32-bit compilation problems

[Timothy Russell]

Thank you for the quick response.  I am still seeing the same behavior, 
however, i.e. when I run make , it still dies while trying to wget 
iputils_20070202.tar.gz. I looked at 
http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/external/ to verify and did not see that 
tarball in the directory.  Is there something different that I should be doing?
BTW, I am running Debian Etch.

P.S.: I keep seeing a notification while running make that says something like 
"you might need to make busybox setuid root...". Is this important, and could 
it be causing this (or other) problems?
Thanks again

Thanks for reporting the problem.

I will upload the missing tarballs tonight into
http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/external/ directory.

Also I would like to say that compilation works only in debian etch.
