How to compile this.

--------------------

1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian

users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.

DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which

is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley

database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which

contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available

on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then

   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for

   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)

   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)

   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup

   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because

   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile

   if you have special requirements and need to point at different

   kernel include files.
