Once we've compiled & installed Samba, will we still need a C compiler on our machine or does Samba just need it initially? Reason I ask is that we used a 60-day "try & buy" C compiler from IBM just for this install, and we have no other use for a compiler at the moment (they've put the clamp on our budget so we can't make any unnecessary purchases). Thanks for your advice. Darin DeCounter Atex Assistant System Administrator Las Vegas Review-Journal 702-387-5230 ddecounter@lvrj.com

You should only need the C compiler for compiling and installation. Incidentally you do not say which platform you are using. Most platforms support the GNU compilers which are free. This would not then be an issue ;-) See: http://gcc.gnu.org/ HTH Dave.
