Subject: Error

Hello:  I keep getting the same error compiling wu_ftp 2.4.2 beta 11 under
linux 1.3.100 with latest libs, etc...

Can anyone tell me the fix, I wouldn't even bother upgrading, but since
moving to shadow (for some odd reason) new users can't login...

Here is the error output from the compile on ftpd all other programs
compiled fine.

glob.c: In function `matchdir':
glob.c:284: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make: *** [glob.o] Error 1
size: bin/ftpd: No such file or directory

Thanks,

Ryan

Learning Resource Center was heard saying ....

Easy fix:

Define DIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS

(or is that ILLEGAL_DIRENT_ACCESS) ?

someplace where glob.c can find it :)

Everyone who uses linux and can't get wu-ftp-2.4.2 to compile:

Grab 

  ftp://ftp.binary9.net/nicholas/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11-linux.tar.gz

This has been patched and fixed to work under 

   Linux 1.3.78+ (Upto 2.0)    [ yeah!!! ]
   libc 5.3.12
   shadow passwords (3.3.1, I think)

the distribution includes the binaries.

Thanks, that solved the problem, now on to the next thing, after
installing it, it does not display the welcome.msg file any longer.  I
checked and it was compiled with USE_ETC and I have not moved my
ftpaccess, can anyone tell me what might be the problem?

Thanks.
