: I cannot say with certainty, but this is probably in the ncurses
: library (or some other library), so unless you search in the library's
: sources, you won't find that "hardcoded" path. (Hey, you've got to
: start somewhere, right? Something somewhere has to be hardcoded.)
I ran "strings" on the kermit binary, and then on each of the libraries
whose names I found. I didn't find /usr/lib/terminfo in this search.
I also tried "make linux" on the current tar.gz source, and it failed with
a pile of error messages, which I haven't begun to research.
Straight FTP? certainly still available.
try ftp to watsun.cc.columbia.edu
then cd to kermit/bin, dir *lin*, or watch the readme as it goes by.
The RPM that I used is at
/kermit/archives/ckermit-6.0.192-7.i386.rpm
which is an ftp link from http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck60.html
As for why web-invoked ftp doesn't work...
Usually it has to do with modem line noise or low performance hardware,
which means it used to happen to me a lot, but doesn't anymore ;-)
Straight ftp, even from a Win95 "dos prompt", is far more stable than
invoking an ftp link from a browser.
