Help installing sudo

[Surey]

Hello All,

I have to install sudo in our systems. I downloaded it and tried to compile it snd it failed with the following error:

"/usr/ccs/bin/ld: DP relative code in file .libs/sudo_noexec.o - shared library must be position
independent. Use +z or +Z to recompile.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error exit code 1"

Can anyone show me how sudo can be installed?

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards,
Surey

You can install sudo as part of Internet Express package - http://h20338.www2.hp.com/hpux11i/cache/324414-0-0-0-121.html

As Ivan said, the sudo package is available under the "Internet express". You can download the tar ball for security tools for your correct OS version. Then, use swinstall to install sudo on your system. Once done, the sudo configuration /etc/sudoers has to be done before using sudo. The sudoers contain, which users are allowed to run which commnads as sudo. Once done, you can test it.

ld: DP relative code in file sudo_noexec.o - shared library must be position independent.

For gcc this means you need the -fpic option.
