Compile bind version bind-9.1.1rc1

[brian d. faulk]

Can someone please help me???
I've downloaded bind version 9.1.1rc1 ran ./configure and tried to do make.
I get the following error.

/opt/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.00/2.95.2/include/limits.h:117: No include path in which to find limits.h

Yes I wish it would stop I've tried to find the header files on the system with no such luck.
Is there anything that I am missing?? Any ideas how to fix this problem. I need to get this version running ASAP.

Thanks

It looks to me like your trying to compile on HP-UX 10.20. Bind 9.1.x is only approved on HP-UX 11.X.
10.20 does not have the needed headers for threads, where 11.0 does. Bind 9.1 is multi-threaded, so requires those headers...

Look in the readme's with bind 9 and see if there is a way to disable threading (dont think so...). If not you may be SOL until you upgrade OS's.

if your using 10.20, you can install bind 8.2.3 easily..with the Ansi C compiler, I could not get gcc to work, I tried for hours. bind 8.2.3 is not supported by HP on 10.20, however I installed it and created a slave server quite easily once I installed the full Ansi compiler..
8.2.3 was just released last month, this should give you what you need as opposed to 9.x.
good luck

the BIND bits from isc.org are setup to use the HP ANSI C compiler, though I _tyhink_ there might be a GCC-based target on BIND8.

BIND9 does require _real_ pthreads and those do not exist on 10.20.

There is though a way to do a thread-free BIND9 - I think the option is --disable-threads or --disable-pthreads.

Even so, BIND 9.1 is 1/2 the perf of BIND 8:

also, I am not aware of similar changes in the BIND9 build logic to accomodate gcc on HP-UX, but a query to bind-users might elicit a response.
