Except when you want to take Solaris boxen to diferent init states, then
you dispair on the man page and anything else :) There ahve been very few
times I've wished I've been using Slowaris rather than Linux.

Under Solaris..

 [16] :-)make
gcc -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE -DVERSION=\"3.3\"  -g   -c logrotate.c -o
logrotate.o
logrotate.c:6: getopt.h: No such file or directory
logrotate.c:7: popt.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [logrotate.o] Error 1

under linux
 [6] :-)make
cc -E -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE -DVERSION=\"3.3\"  -g -M logrotate.c log.c
config.c ba
senames.c  > .depend
logrotate.c:7: popt.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [depend] Error 1

A quick check of the source says that GCC source includes the getopt.h
library, so I'll have to check out the GCC install, but both systems seem
to be devoid popt.h. Any idea where I might source it ?

Thanks
