I'd like to use the ident command within Squid. So I beleive that I need to recompile to enable its functionality. I've downloaded a Mandrake 10.2 'squid...SRC.RPM' and used 'rpm -ivh squid..src.rpm' to install it. To test the process, WITHOUT modifying the squid.specs file I've tried to recompile the source using 'rpmbuild -ba squid.spec' I get about one meter of junk scrolled to the screen, this ends with a +error 0 and it produces a RPM file If I try to install the produced rpm file I get an error 'Some package requested cannot be installed squid ... (due to unsatisfied perl (shellwords.pl)) As a newbie non of this means anything to me. I don't even know how to divert the screen output to a file or printer so that I get a chance to read it. Whilst I'm not a techie I've been playing with computers since the vic20 and this is the first time I've ever had to ask for help, perhaps I'm getting old? Any simple instructions would be appreciated.
