Hi, I'm a new root user (and a new linux and linux c++ user) and I want
to install it from the sources on my pc (i586-like, it is an AMD Athlon
pc) with the new Mandrake 9.1 distribution:
gcc 3.2
libstdc++.so.5
Xfree.4.3

Following the installation procedure, I have supposed that the arch type
to pass to ./configure was 'mklinux'. So, after adding libraries
needed as libtermcap and discovering that libg++ is libstdc++ (made a
symbolic link to it), 'gmake' stops when compiling 'rootd' saying
something like:
the function 'setgid..or similar' is defined as static and later as extern
the function 'setuid..or similar' is defined as static and later as extern
(but rapidly seeing the sources I don't notice any redefinition)

Anyway, I have just noticed mails on the argument, one tell that adding
libcrypt.a in the command line of linker resolves the problem (but I'm
not pratical of makefiles, I always used windows compilers), another that
the right arch type to use in 'configure' is 'linux'.

What is the correct thing to do and what files and how I have to modify?
