Subject: install wu-ftpd2.4 on Solaris

i tried to install WU-ftpd 2.4 on Solaris 2.5 using gcc 2.7.2.

there is no problem compiling the source (build sol).  though
i couldn't do "build install", i simply copied the executables 
and manpages to the root directory manully. so no problem here
either.

the problem is that i couldn't run ftpd. here is a session:

--------------------------cut-----------------------------------
# ./ftpd -l
220 linkage FTP server (Version wu-2.4(4) Thu Jun 20 20:25:53 EDT 1996) ready.
221 Server shutting down.  Goodbye.
--------------------------cut-----------------------------------

the error message produced by syslog is:

 ftpd[3581]: setsockopt (SO_OOBINLINE): Invalid argument
 ftpd[3581]: fcntl F_SETOWN: Invalid argument

i don't understand this error message.. anything related
to Solaris? (i did install wu-ftpd on SunOS fine)? or
anything related to the use of gcc (i don't have cc at
the moment...)

thanks for the help!
