I'm kind of new to Linux, or my Pi uinit. I want to install a BinkD mailer on it... Does anyone have the instructions as to how to do this kicking around somewhere??

Make sure you have build-essential installed (compiler, make, etc.)
Then download the source and compile.

If you encounter issues post them here.

I just installesd build-essential and .... I will get some help on the compile deal. I am so new at this I want to have no issues...

If you are worried about the compile not going well, you can get the actual release version by doing an apt-get:

apt-get install binkd

As the Pi runs a debian derivative, and there is a debian package
available, that is the easier way.

I was able to install it that way initially on my pi, as well as another
debian system. One is now running a newer version that I compiled from
source. I forget which is which because they both work just fine. You just have to be sure to get the config file, and file permissions, right. The passwords in the config file, too, of course.

One thing to remember is that, if you install it via apt, the default
behavior is to run as a daemon. So, if you try to start it from the
command line it could bomb because it is already running.

This is the frustrating part, for me anyway, in learning Linux is.... well ... I may have ephed things up. I did run apt-get install... it ran... I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. tried the second way, building it via source... it built it... somewhere... Can't find it. I have a local guy/friend I know who'll dig me out of this mess.

With Linux I seem to take 1 step forward and 3 or 4 back.

I have the information I need to progress from this point

It is in the std repository so from the comand line try
sudo apt-get install binkd

Do you run BinkD in Linux or Pi??

Hello Ib!
This is how I do it.

Run the following commands on your Pi (in Terminal if you use GUI or just in the remote SSH console):
sudo apt install git build-essential

Okay, thanx... I have done in part what you said... I think I need to call a friend.... I fly by the seat of my pants on this and did not fully grasp what is needed of me.

At least I know it is done, easy for those with an understanding...

Thanx

There are a few places that it could have put it. For packages, if you are running the x server, a package like synaptic might help. It is a GUI
package manager. I mostly use apt-get from the command line, but I can use synaptic to figure out where a package has put something if I cannot find it.

There are other ways, too, that folks will probably suggest, which require
a little more comfort with the command line.

On my pi, it put the executable in /usr/sbin, and the config file in /etc/binkd.

i know this is old, now, but joe was saying that it installed but he has no clue where... he has/had the same problem with compiling it and not knowing where the binaries were put in the directory tree...

I played with Ubuntu but haven't begin using it, so I'm a bit lower than a Linux newbie.

There were 3 messages for this echo in tonights QWK packet.

When I the first message I thought about what I do on this XP box.

Every once in a while I open a Administrator CMD Prompt, cd C:\ to be at
the C:\ Directory (ROOT in Linux??), then enter DIR /s/-p and wait for
the list to finish.

At the C:\ prompt I enter DIR /s/-p >> C:\somesubdirectory\cdir20181010.txt
and press Enter to save the listing to a place where I keep those listings.

BTW, the 20181010 portion is todays Date if I were making a listing tonight.

After Saving the file, if I want to look to see where a file is/was I use Windows Explorer to Open the file and then (on this XP box) I press the F3
Key and enter what I'm searching for.

Linux most likely has a BETTER WAY, but I'm writing this idea of mine that
with some Linux'ey modification(s) may be of help to someone wanting to
see where a File is stored on their Linux system.

This is what I occasionally do.
If anyone has a suggestion for my method of doing things

it does if you know it exists and how to use it ;)

find -name <filename>

-iname would be better because of case sensitivity and not knowing the case of a file... also using "-type f" so you don't end up finding directories when you
want files only...

find . -type f -iname "*.foo"

Unix OSes sometimes run mklocatedb at night, so you later can run
"locate fileX" and it will tell you all places where fileX appears.
It's not necessarily "better" than your solution, seems about equal.

As others have noted, find can do it if you want to make a search
on the current view and not the nightly version.

Good points. :) I usually know what I'm looking for, case wise, so normally don't need the -iname, but it is a useful one to include.
