Hi
Thanks for the reply Troy,

I am student and we have designed ARM board with marvell switch chip
88E6065 in our lab. Actually I want to manage L2 functionality of switch
chip using XorPlus, which is another derivative  of XORP with L2
functionality.

Board has Linux-2.6.30 kernel version running on it and Uboot-1.3.4.. we
also have gcc, gdb nothing more. I cross-compiled Xorplus and put it on the
board but its literally doing nothing, no logs, no error messages. Same
XorPlus is running fine on x86 machine.

For trial purpose I executed xorp_rtrmgr on x86 and board without any
configuration. On x86 machine atleast its printing error messages but on
board its doing nothing? I thought may be xorp needed some packages other
than xorp libreary.

thanks and regards,
MAS.
