Hi, I have downloaded samba-latest.tar and extracted it into my SunSPARCstation 5 (Kernel version is SunOS Release 5.5.1 version Generic_103640-29) /work1/samba directory. I logged in as su and then run the program ./configure under /work1/samba/samba-2.0.7/source. The config status shows OK. Under the same location, I type 'make' to create the binaries. But I received the following err report:- . . . Compiling smbd/server.c Compiling smbd/files.c Compiling smbd/chgpasswd.c Compiling smbd/connection.c Compiling smbd/dfree.c Compiling smbd/dir.c Compiling smbd/password.c smbd/password.c: In function `authorise_login': smbd/password.c:733: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast Compiling smbd/conn.c Compiling smbd/fileio.c Compiling smbd/ipc.c smbd/ipc.c: In function `package': smbd/ipc.c:359: `__builtin_va_alist' undeclared (first use this function) smbd/ipc.c:359: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once smbd/ipc.c:359: for each function it appears in.) make: *** [smbd/ipc.o] Error 1 NOTE: I noticed that the base directory and prefix path are all set to /usr/local/samba and as a matter of fact, I don't hv the rights to create a new directory under /usr/local/.. either with the su or my own login name. So, would that be a problem. Anyway, it doesn't work either when I pointing the base directory and prefix path to a location where I have granted full access rights. I have tried version 2.0.6 and getting the same err as above. I'm desperately wanted to know what went wrong? Any input from your side is very much appreciated. With Regards SIM
