Thank you for the quick response. I am still seeing the same behavior, however, i.e. when I run make , it still dies while trying to wget iputils_20070202.tar.gz. I looked at http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/external/ to verify and did not see that tarball in the directory. Is there something different that I should be doing? BTW, I am running Debian Etch. Tim Russell Eastern Illinois University P.S.: I keep seeing a notification while running make that says something like "you might need to make busybox setuid root...". Is this important, and could it be causing this (or other) problems?

I will upload the missing tarballs tonight into http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/external/ directory.
