I installed BasLin on a Pentium I 75 hoping to be able to compile TOR
and run that computer as a non-exit relay. I'm hoping someone can
offer some tips as to which packages must I install to be able to
compile some modern programs.

I installed gcc and the other tools from Slackware 4.0 as described at
http://www.consumedconsumer.org/2012/10/linux-tor-relay-on-pentium-75.html
and when trying to compile I get a bunch of complaints from
./configure (listed all at
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4803018#post4803018
)

Perhaps the most significant complaint, in my judgement, is about the
existing grep (via Busybox, if I'm not mistaken) being not up to par.
I tried upgrading grep with grep.tgz from Slackware 4 and/or 9 but
unfortunately that caused pkg to malfunction. Now everytime I try to
install something I get an error in pkg (line 21 or so) stating that
no grep can be found. In retrospect, I should have perhaps just
updated Busybox.

I will reinstall everything, but to bring the box to a state that
allows compilation of Tor (and maybe other programs), what should I
install / upgrade?

[Hello everybody, this is my first post on this list. Hope your week
was super and your week-end.. even better :)]
