Hi Alex and all,

I just get the patch and fix the source code,
with CFLAGS include -DOLD_READLINE, I can make source OKAY with the
following environment,

PLATFORM 1: mandrake 8.0 kernel 2.4.3-20 with readline 4.1

...
gcc  bridge.o stp_cli.o
stp_to.o -lutil -lreadline -ltermcap -lpthread -L. -lrstp -luid -lcli -o
bridge
./libuid.a(uid_sock.o): In function `UiD_SocketInit':
/home/sam/rstplib/uid_sock.c:95: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better
use `mkstemp'

I think the readline must have some problem with compatibility,
I am a newbie for 802.1w, still confused for status machine...... @_@||

thank you, Alex,
