HP-UX 10.20 and Samba

[Naj Rana]

I am trying to install Samba 2.0.7 on HP9000-K360 running HP-UX 10.20. Mid-way through running the initial Samba configure program it halted with the error message:

ERROR: No locking available.Running Samba would be unsafe
configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config.

I would be grateful for any assistance with this.

Try running ./configure as root.

Then you should be able to compile.

Sometimes tar archives have funny permissions when you untar them.
delete the whole directory structure you have.

tar xvf samba2.tar
chown -R root:sys samba2.0
chmod -R 755 samba2.0
now run ./configure as root

Did you make any modifications to the source? If not, you could use the precompiled binaries from www.samba.org.

AFAIK the original source distribution has its default installation path under /usr/local. But i prefer all software be installed under /opt.

The binaries for HP-UX will install under /opt.

If you still experience problems with the source, give the binaries a try.

Hi,

why not installing ready compiled binary package for HP-UX 10.20 ?
This package can be installed with swinstall.
Package could be found here:
http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/hp/

The binary version for samba 2.04 installed without any problems. It installs under /opt and the smb.conf file is easy to configure.

What is the command line to install using swinstall ?
