During the last weeks I've installed bind4.8.3 from ucbarpa.berkeley.edu, due to the frequent timeouts experienced by the Domain/OS named. Thanks to system@alchemy (sp?) and pare@apollo.com I've finally managed some difficulties and would like to share my experiences with the net. named/ns_main.c needs the following diffs : 1249c1249 < register char *cp; --- > /* register char *cp; */ 1253c1253 < cp = Argv[0]; --- > /* cp = Argv[0]; */ 1261c1261 < (void) strncpy(cp, buf, LastArg - cp); --- > /* (void) strncpy(cp, buf, LastArg - cp); 1264c1264 < *cp++ = ' '; --- > *cp++ = ' '; */ Make sure to uncomment the line # /etc/ifconfig lo0 localhost in /etc/rc.user . Add -A nansi to the compiler options in the relevant makefiles, and make sure to include ../include there. Better make the libresolv in res and include it in the compiler-line via -L../res . Comment the inclusions of <stdlib.h> in the tools/nslookup/*.[ch]-files, I didn't miss them. I'm running bind 4.8.3 for a week in /usr/local/etc/namedb now and have yet to experience these timeouts again !
