Hi I recently installed the 3.0beta1 version on a FreeBSD 5.1-R box and I get this error message when running the "testparm" utility in fact the directory /usr/local/samba/lib/charset is not created by a "make install" The install is a fresh one not an update of any existing samba version. Error loading module '/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so': Cannot open "/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so" Conversion from UCS-2LE to CP850 not supported Error loading module '/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so': Cannot open "/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so" Conversion from UTF8 to CP850 not supported Error loading module '/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so': Cannot open "/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so" Conversion from ASCII to CP850 not supported Error loading module '/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so': Cannot open "/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so" Conversion from CP850 to UCS-2LE not supported Error loading module '/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so': Cannot open "/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so" Conversion from CP850 to UTF8 not supported Error loading module '/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so': Cannot open "/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so" Conversion from CP850 to ASCII not supported Error loading module '/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so': Cannot open "/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so" Conversion from CP850 to UTF8 not supported Error loading module '/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so': Cannot open "/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so" Conversion from UTF8 to CP850 not supported Error loading services.
