I have been tracking the various releases over time. I run Samba on a mixed network, including SGI Irix4.0.5F, Debian Linux 1.3.1, and Redhat 6.2. I have had no trouble previously building (except on Irix where i have to declare some functions every time, but i guess I am about the only person still running 4.0.5F). This time on Irix I got an error in configure. .... checking for int16 typedef included by rpc/rpc.h... no checking for uint16 typedef included by rpc/rpc.h... no checking for int32 typedef included by rpc/rpc.h... no checking for uint32 typedef included by rpc/rpc.h... no checking for conflicting AUTH_ERROR define in rpc/rpc.h... yes checking for test routines... configure: error: cant find test code. Aborting config Any suggestions as what one is supposed to do next? ==John ffitch
