Introduction to libtirpc

The libtirpc package contains libraries that support programs that use the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) API. It replaces the RPC, but not the NIS library entries that used to be in glibc.

Package Information

libtirpc Dependencies

Optional

"mitkrb" for GSSAPI support

Installation of libtirpc

[Note]

Note

If updating this package, you will also need to update any existing version of "rpcbind"

Prepare libtirpc by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr     \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --disable-static  \
            --disable-gssapi
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--disable-gssapi: This switch is needed if no GSSAPI providers are installed, such as "mitkrb". Remove this switch if you have installed "mitkrb" and you need to use the GSSAPI support.
