Ok, this looks like a bug.

So what you can do is:

remove the installed ttyrec.
wget and install the src rpm from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741706
go to the its source directory and untar it.

tar -zxvf ttyrec-1.0.8.tar.gz
patch the source with the included "ttyrec-Makefile.patch", then it works for UNIX98 pty standard.

ttyrec-1.0.8]# patch -p1 < ../ttyrec-Makefile.patch1.2.3.3
Make sure you have "libbsd-devel" installed, else

yum install libbsd-devel
make the source

ttyrec-1.0.8]# make
copy the binaries to /usr/bin

ttyrec-1.0.8]# cp ttyrec ttytime ttyrecord /usr/bin/
Execute "ttyrec"

instead built the RPM

rpmbuild --rebuild ttyrec-1.0.8-2.src.rpm

it works now.

So, it looks like libbsd is available for fedora, but not centos or redhat. What's the solution for those distros?

The answer is to include the proper files. libbsd, which isn't available on Centos/RedHat isn't the answer. <blockquote> 74c74,76
