Installing SAMBA

[Yvonne Butler]

I'm attempting to install SAMBA on a new system. When running the ./configure command from /opt/samba/source it runs through all the usual stuff but quits out some way through. Anyone know why I'm getting this problem, I haven't encountered it before!?

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

If you are running 10.20 or 11.0 get the depot from here

Looks like you are using the bundled compiler that is ported with HPUX OS.


If you have ANSI C compiler installed,make sure you are pointing it there to that executable.


If not it is nice you download the gcc version and get it compiled using that.

Hi Yvonne,

Another option is to consider downloading CIFS/9000 from http://software.hp.com

The advantage is that it's supported by HP, but it will be based on a version of open source Samba that may not be the absolute latest.

regards,

Darren.

I would use the CIFS/9000 from HP instead...

If you want the latest and greatest, then check out the cifs/9000 server technology preview:

UI have that running in semi-production - with no issues what-so-ever.

Rgds...Geoff

I'd forgotten to install the ANSI C Compiler first, its all working now. Thanks everyone.
