Mismatched machine types - make'ing sudo

S.Rider — Tue, 06 Jun 2006 17:19:13 GMT

I get the following error when make'ing sudo. Anyone seen this before? The server is a L3000 so I'm pretty sure it's not an Itanium box. 8-)

# make
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link cc -o sudo_noexec.la sudo_noexec.lo -avoi
d-version -rpath /usr/libexec
/usr/bin/ld -b +h sudo_noexec.sl +b /usr/libexec -o .libs/sudo_noexec.sl .libs/
sudo_noexec.o -lc
ld: Mismatched machine types. Expected EM_PARISC but found EM_IA_64 in file .lib

Fatal error.

Shalom,

Based on the error text, I'd say your code is bad. L3000 boxes can be system board switched to IA64 but I assume you'd know about that.

So, the code is no good and I suggest you consider sudo in depot form.

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sudo-1.6.8p12/

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sudo-1.6.8p9/

You will get an install error, but if you look at it carefully you can set the suid bit on the file it complains about and it will work just fine.

Sudo may be part of Internet Express from http://software.hp.com

Thanks for the reply Steve. Sudo was installed from the HP depot. I have a problem ticket opened with HP now.

Ended up stumbling onto a fix for this, while experimenting.
Did a "make distclean" before doing the configure / make / make install.
All all was fine.
