John the Ripper Install Error

me(who else?) · Oct 8, 2004

I'm installing John the Ripper to check my password security, but under RedHat 9 I get an install error when I use make linux-x86-any-elf, I get install error 1. Am I missing something?

Yes, you're missing the details about that error.

Sorry, I can't really isolate the error, but here's the output:

Error is

: multiple definition of `DES_std_crypt'

However, as the objects appear to be missing debug code it doesn't tell you what line it was defined on, just a hexadecimal adress..

You'll have to remove one definition of that, and hope you get the right one.
