Apparently, in order to compile textutils, you need to have textutils installed... Naturally (to me anyway), my first thought was Busybox. I tried to compile it, no joy (unmet dependancies), I tried the appropriate binaries for my VM, also no joy... insta-segfault.
Fine, let's get the real sort util, and copy it over, perfect! So I spend the next 20 minutes configuring another (32bit) VM to support SSH1 on the internal network (since, of course, the version of SSH with Dettuxx is ancient), and get scp working. Copy the binary over, and it crashes complaining about libraries. File confirmed that it was dynamically linked, with libs that weren't installed in Dettuxx, no doubt. Fine...
export CFLAGS="-static -O2 -g"
./configure --with-prefix=/home/peter/textutils_build
make
make install
This process went along nicely, and generated a statically linked set of textutils bins (the old textutils package wasn't exactly fun to find, mind you). I scp these binaries over, and get: "FATAL: Kernel too old"
As we speak, I have RH7.1 installing in a VM, running a 2.4 kernel out of the box... Wish me luck...
