Any luck using Redhat? --Figured it out
Authored by: billthecat on Mar 07, '02 01:42:18PM

After doing some snooping through the Netatalk 1.5.2 make file and the man pages I figured it out.

The previous install was v1.5.0pre6, was installed using the RPM at sourceforge. Because it was a Redhat-specific install everything went in a Redhat-specific place (I really hate that). Unfortunately, The RPM puts things in different places than 'make install' does when compiling from the source code. A quick look at /var/log/messages showed that even with v1.5.2 installed v1.5.0pre6 was still starting up.

So basically, I had to remap a couple things on my Linux box:

1. Modify the /etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk script to point to /usr/local/sbin instead of /usr/bin

2. Create a link from /etc/atalk (the existing netatalk config files) to /usr/local/etc/netatalk (where the v1.5.2 install expects to find them).

I figured this was easier than trying to figure out how to properly remap paths in the make file to match up with where the rpm install put everything.

Everything's good now, and iTunes can finally get to my mp3 stash. Hurray!
