ipxripd package: does it work?

["Keith G. Murphy" <keithmur@mindspring.com>]

Is anyone but me trying to run the ipxripd 0.7-5 package?

I'm trying to run it on kernel version 2.0.36, compiled for IPX.  

When I try to run it, it just goes away.  I never see it as a process
doing 'ps aux'.

If I try to run it in non-daemon mode (-d option), I see:

  Mon Jul 26 17:56:51 1999
  Init start
  000A0001:0040056D2DEF
  000A0001:0040056D2DEF
  interface bound to net 0

and get the prompt back, like it exited without any warning.

I *do* see the networks in /proc/net/ipx_route.  Does this mean ipxd did
run successfully at some point?  It *is* supposed to run continuously,
right?  It doesn't look like the system is routing, judging by what I'm
seeing on other systems on the network.

Can't compile the source package either:  I'm seeing a bunch of trash
like this:

What's with this thing?  :-(
