samba - Feb 2002 - Samba on HPUX 10.20

I am trying to install Samba-2.2.3a on HPUX 10.2.

I have downloaded the tar file from the web and placed it in my /tmp
directory on my Unix server but when I try to install it using SAM I get
message saying there is an I/O error on the file.

Any suggestions?  I am very very new to all this!

Hi.

I'm not to sure about HP-UX as we moved away from that
a couple of years ago, but it could be that /tmp is
actually swap space.

It could be this which is causing your errors.
I would first try downloading to a different file system
location.  One that you have full control over for read
and write.

This may not be your problem, but compiling under /tmp
is never a good idea, and come to think of it, /tmp
shouldn't really be used except by system processes
(if you desire stability on your system that is).

Hope that helps.

hi,

do you have a depot file or a tar.gz file ?
If you have a depot hp file you can simply install it with swinstall -s 
<directory/filename>.
If it is not a precompiled depot hp file ypu have to unzip the tar.gz 
file and then compile it with an appropriate compiler.

good luck
