Thank you both, Jens and Michael.  I was missing some dependencies as you both indicated.  I was able to compile it today without a problem.  What a coincidence that you replied Michael; I was actually updating the udpcast binaries in G4L (terrific project btw!) for testing.

I had a question about compiling udpcast from source.  I am inexperienced
with Linux, so I am probably doing something wrong.  I downloaded
udpcast-20070602.tar.gz as listed on the site (
http://udpcast.linux.lu/source.html).  I followed the steps to extract the
file to a folder and changed to that directory.  However, when I typed the
make command, it says "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile
found.   Stop.".  This is under Ubuntu 6.10.

I also tried "make --file=./Makefile.in" thinking that it might be what was
needed but got a different error (CC@: Command not found & Error 127).  Can
you help me figure out what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for the project!  I am hoping to implement this at a university to
replace Ghost.

Hi Jon,

usually you execute
./configure
inside the udpcast source directory to have the makefile build.
This step seems to be missing on the udpcast homepage. However, this
step is quite common when building something from source, so remind it
for future projects.

Since you are using a Debian based OS, if you get complaints of
missing stuff while executing ./configure or make, you can simply
invoke
sudo apt-get build-dep udpcast
and have everything fetched by apt.

Have fun with udpcast.

Regards,
Jens
