I ran into the same problem 2.0.33 does not work w/ 14e
i had to stay w/ 2.0.31 clean and patch it w/ 14e.. and the only ax25utils that
would work was 2.1.42a .. also check ncurses i had a problem w/
that....

have fun....... if any of you have a clue on making 2.0.33 work clue me in..
2.0.33 for some reason
made a difference on my system.. things worked smoother especially X.. its
weird... plus im worried
about teardrop attacks.. thetas why i went to 2.0.33 but then i built the node..
so no go .. so i had
to drop my IRC habit.... or ill get attacked...... DAMNED @^#%@^%#&@ hackers...
i want the moron that wrote teardrop halved-quartered-shot-and burnt at the
stake.....
