    base64.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

    Run "cvs update" in the src/smblib directory.

    I was trying to compile the source that was downloaded from the syncterm website. Updating the smblib directory allows syncterm to compile. I suppose the source archive on the syncterm website needs updated.

    Thanks,

    Yeah, I see that now. base64.c and .h are included in the archive yet there is a build failure. We're looking at that now.
