HP-UNIX configure samba

[Susi]

I am trying to install samba on an HP-UX 11.0 server. When I run 'configure' it gets aborted with the following message:

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

Is that a compiler problem? I am using cc. What can I do?

Are you running the install as root? It looks there may be some permission problems

[Susi]

Jeff,

I run 'configure' as root. The configure file itself is owned by sysadm, group is sys. I tried changing the owner to root, which didn't make 'configure' work either.

here is a section from a text file I saw, not sure if this will work but it might help

you need to add these to the LIBSM line in the Samba Makefile. Your LIBSM line will then look something like this:

LIBSM = setegid.o seteuid.o -ln

You should then remove the line:

#define NO_EID

from the includes.h

[Susi]

Thanks, Jeff! I checked the files that you mentioned. The Makefile doesn't have a specific LIBSM line. It's got a 'LIBS=@LIBS@' and a 'LIBSMB_OBJ' line.
The includes.h file doesn't have the entry: #define NO_EID.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!

Susi,
I am having exactly the same error when trying to install samba on my L class box running HPux 11.00. Did you get it working?

Susi-

You are compiling Samba to install, right? You should be able to find already compiled versions of it out there. If nothing else, you could install CIFS server, since that is the same thing in essence. this is already set up in .depot format, so it's just swinstall and go. It's normal samba from there, except for some of the file locations.

That's what I eventually did. I downloaded and installed a pre-compiled version and it worked just fine.
