Apologies Bernd, I should have been more clear. The embedded machine 
that I am building for is an x86 based machine but it does not have the 
processing power to compile. To build things for it I have been using a 
virtualised copy of the distro in qemu .

The distro uses a Debian based linux kernel based on etch - 
2.6.20-486-voyage. libc version 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2. The strange thing is 
building from source in the virtualised machine is fine. However when I 
make a .deb (something that is transportable the actual non-virtualised 
system), when I try to install it there is a dependency for libc to be 
greater than vers >= 2.6. If I manually remove this dependency from the 
installation requirements in the .deb then it will install fine but 
will get a segmentation error after a while.

I am not sure quite where to go from here. Is there any way to move a 
compiled olsrd between identical systems without using a package (eg a 
.deb)?

Thanks
Dave
