Need help compiling for Ubuntu 16.04

[Saya47]

Hello The apt repositories are outdated and have 1.1 dante server debs. I'd like to compile from source and install the software, so far, I have downloaded and extracted the dante 1.4 tar.gz and have done: ./configure make make check sudo make install And when I tried danted -v I see it's not installed. So from the INSTALL readme file, I found out it's installed in /usr/local I tried . /usr/local/bin/socksify but I got this error: error: parseconfig(): could not open config file /etc/socks.conf So I copied the file from /usr/local/man/man5/socks.conf to /etc/socks.conf But it returns error on line 1.

I think I'm doing it all wrong then, please help. I found no service named danted in systemctl. Thanks very much.

Hi @Saya47

Sorry I missed this 3.5 years ago but late is better than never.

You were really close. /usr/local/man/man5/socks.conf is the manual page describing socks.conf while socks.conf examples are in the dante/example directory.

Best of luck!
