Clarence J — Fri, 08 Jun 2001 01:03:12 GMT

Hi there!

I tried to install Samba 2.2.0 on my hpd370 server and encountered the following error mid-way thru' installation:

Checking configure summary
WARNING: No automated network interface determination
ERROR: No seteuid method available
configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config.

What does all this mean? Anyone, pls. Appreciate all help so far.

Hi,

why not downloading SAMBA as binary package from
http://va.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/hp/samba-2.0.7-hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20.tar.Z

After download to eg. /tmp/samba-2.0.7-hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20.tar.Z extract the depot file with

cd /tmp;zcat samba-2.0.7-hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20.tar.Z|tar xvf - samba.depot

and then install it with

swinstall -s /tmp/samba.depot

Regards

Is your machine running HP-UX 11 or 10.20?

Which C-compiler do you use: bundled cc or gcc?

I'm using HP-UX 11.00.

How do I check the ver for C?

gcc -v
or cc -v
to get version info

Got back the following using:

root@hpd370:/> cc -v
(Bundled) cc: NLSPATH is /usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat:/usr/lib/nls/msg/C/%N.cat:
(Bundled) cc: CCOPTS is not set.
(Bundled) cc: INCLUDIR is INCLUDIR=/usr/include

The bundled cc compiler that comes with HP-UX is intended to be used only for kernel compilation. If you look at your config.log, you'll probably see error messages stating that the syntax used in the C source code is only valid with an ANSI C compiler. To get through the configure stage without errors, you'll have to install either gcc (and binutils) or HP ANSI C (which can be found on the Applications CD; you'll need to pay for a license to be able install it, though).

Hope this helps.

Vincent

Thanks very much to all the replies. It has been very useful.

I will try to get the required CD. My machine did not come with the HP-UX Core CD and Applications CD as it was a "hand-me-down". This is what happens when you get things for free! BTW, anyone knows how I can actually get my hands on the CDs?

Appreciate it!

Sorry i can't tell you where to get the CD's. But as the ANSI C compiler costs you extra money try to install the gcc first.

Got to the Software Porting Center (e.g. http://hpux.connect.org.uk) and download binutils and gcc. Make sure to download both and better install the binutils first.

I would reconmend using gcc instead of ANSI C. Most free software is better configured for gcc.

Hope this helps. Stefan
