RedHat 5.1 is glibc, so the debian binary would work on it, but if you
compile it yourself on the RH box, you'll need to do so statically if you
want it to work on your caldera box.

BTW, does anyone know if the next version of Caldera (tentatively scheduled
for 1st quarter 99, I believe) is going to be glibc?  I know Volkerding's
said that 3.6 was the last libc5 slackware.

something like

make 2>&1 > make.log

should do the trick.


Normally, every Unix program has three I/O streams:

0 is stdin (input)
1 is stdout (output)
2 is stderr (errors)

all the 2>&1 > make.log business is doing is saying that you want to
redirect stderr (2) to stdout (1).  Then, you direct stdout to make.log.
