This has been addressed many times here, so without meaning t be rude i will
say you installed the ax25 utilitys without reading the INSTALL and README
files properly.
What you did was configure libax25 ax25-tools and ax25-apps with ./configure
without "options", the ax25 stuff goes into /usr/local/* by default so when
most of the ax25 programs get started they will look into "/usr/local/etc for
thier config files.
If you use
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc localstatdir=/var
as per the INSTALL file then this problem would not have arised.
You will have more problems later om with other commands and apps, all saying
they cant find there config files.
You have several choosies to correct this problem.
Link /usr/local/etc to /etc/ax25
Use the -c option with ax25ipd, BTW the man page does not define -c at all,
use ax25ipd --help for valid options.
The -c option is not a global means of solving your problem as i said, other
programs will moan about config file not found and not all have such an
option i belive.
Reinstall libax25, apps and utils and use the configure with options as per
the example above.
