error when installing wvstreams on Fedora 13

[Mikey MIke]

after the make command, i get

./CXX -c crypto/wvx509
crypto/wvx509.cc: In member function ‘WvString
WvX509::get_extension(int) const’:
crypto/wvx509.cc:1160: error: invalid conversion from ‘const
X509V3_EXT_METHOD*’ to ‘X509V3_EXT_METHOD*’
make: *** [crypto/wvx509.o] Error 1

Searched online, got directed to a patch online (here's the tricky
part), unsure if I applied it correctly.
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/2010-January/379740.html

Basically, when I read through the lines, I saw this fragment
solution, which was the same line where the error was coming from;

if (ext)
{
- X509V3_EXT_METHOD *method = X509V3_EXT_get(ext);
+ X509V3_EXT_METHOD *method = (X509V3_EXT_METHOD *)
X509V3_EXT_get(ext);
if (!method)
{
WvDynBuf buf;

So, I removed the line with the '-' and included that with the '+'.
After all that, obtained another error (infact series of errors, which
for some reason tried to copy over to my windows partition, but for
some reason can't find it while I'm writing this.). Pls, forgive me
for not putting that error here. will do in my next post. Cheers!
Meanwhile, if there's any solution, pls I'd be greatfull to know
about them.

Cheers in advance!

Mikey,

Fedora 13 should have wvdial if it does not, just
# yum install wvdial -y

and you should be on your way.

Regards,

Antonio

Antonio,
Yh, the problem is I can't use yum. My only access to internet is
through the USB modem you see. Could make use of the USB modem via
windows because it came with some programs etc. So trying to make it
work in Fedora. Wish I could yum, but can't.

Hope I explained it properly?

Cheers in advance
