[mosh-users] errors compiling mosh

[Keith Winstein]

Hello Jean,

Unfortunately I think we are still working on packaging this for
RHEL/CentOS 5 and debating how to handle the missing byteswap routines
issue.

We're tracking the issue here, and one user has reported a way to get
these routines on CentOS 5 that you might find useful.

Best regards, and thanks for trying mosh!

Keith
