CentOS 5 Can't Install Portsentry

Just downloaded & tried to compile Portsentry (~~[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?groupid=80573" target="blank">](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile … p_id=80573">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80573](), but ran into a dead end. After figuring out that gcc wasn't installed, did a yum install gcc just fine. But make is still failing:

[root@----- portsentry_beta]# make linux                                                         
SYSTYPE=linux

gcc  -O -Wall -DLINUX -DSUPPORT_STEALTH -o ./portsentry ./portsentry.c \                            
                ./portsentry_io.c ./portsentry_util.c

Is this fatal, or can I press? Any suggestions?

For what it's worth, it seems to be working …

It's not failing, it just isn't reporting as succeeding. If make had failed you would see the word 'error.'

@jax:

You're right–when I originally wrote that, it was failing because of a syntax error I tracked down and fixed--then I still had the word 'error' in my head.

Anyway, it seems to work.
