hi evreybody, I'm working with HP-UX B.10.20 I have this problem while I try to configure samba 2.0.7. Well after i run "./configure" i got this error and it doesn't create make file, and i can't proceed with the installation.. As the default procedure doesn't work, I tried with "--with-nisplus" and "--with-pam" options, but unfortunately without success. Could u explain me why i have this problem. ---------------------------------------- checking if large file support can be enabled no checking configure summary ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config ---------------------------------------- Thank you for your help, Eric
[eric.lou <eric.lou@infonie.fr>]> checking configure summary > ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe > configure: error: summary failure. Aborting configThis is the classic symptom of needing to run configure as root. I don't understand quite why, but some locking tests apparently fail if you aren't root. This hasn't happened to me yet, but it's been reported by quite a few other people. Oh. Also, if the error persists, try configuring samba on a non-NFS partition. Then if that succeeds, try to arrange not to share any filesystems you are getting via NFS. Peter
hello Peter, i ran "configure" as root, and i worked on a non-NFS partition (vxfs). However that didn't succeed... Nevertheless, i would say that i've worked without NFS installation since the beginning, and it may be precisely the problem, because deamons "lockd" & "statd" (processes NFS) are still running. Thus it seems to be logical if locking (which tries to use "lockd" without NFS) isn't available. But in fact, i don't really know where the bug is. I have resolved my problem, with a binary HP-UX/samba2-0-7 installation. Thank you anyway ;-) Eric>> checking configure summary >> ERROR: No locking available.
