help in installing sudo-1.6.8p12

[Pando]

dear gurus,

i would like to seek help on how to install sudo-1.6.8p12 (HP-UX 11.11). I have downloaded this sudo version from "The porting and archiving center for HP-UX" and installed the run-time dependencies. The run-time dependency 'db3' was not able to install because 'db' was installed with a higher version. (Should i revert back to a lower version?)

Now this is the procedure i did:

# mkdir -p /opt/source/sudo
# cd /opt/source/sudo
# cp /tmp/sudo-1.6.8p12.tar.gz
# gunzip sudo-1.6.8p12.tar.gz
# tar xvf sudo-1.6.8p12.tar
# cd sudo-1.6.8p12
# ./configure
# gmake

At this point, i got the following result:

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link cc -o sudo_noexec.la sudo_noexec.lo -avoid-version -rpath /usr/local/libexec
/usr/bin/ld -b +h sudo_noexec.sl +b /usr/local/libexec -o .libs/sudo_noexec.sl .libs/sudo_noexec.o -lc
/usr/bin/ld: DP relative code in file .libs/sudo_noexec.o - shared library must be position
independent. Use +z or +Z to recompile.
gmake: *** [sudo_noexec.la] Error 1

How should i proceed? What does the error mean?

Thanks!

Hi,

You could download sudo from the Internet Express pack, it is provided by HP and fully tested with HP-UX and would be easier to install.

You don't have to download everything, you can just take down sudo.
