Hi All, Pls has anyone successfully installed Samba 3 on an AIX 4.3 (RS6000) system? The only precompiled binary I was able to find - v 3.0.4 from bullfreeware.com did not work after installation. I haven't been successful trying to install it from source. I have downloaded various requisite programs such as kerberos (which won't compile either) and openldap. I am particularly interested in Samba's ability to join a Windows2K domain and its ACLs capabilities. Pls any help would be appreciated. Below is a mail I sent to someone about my "experience" installing from source. Thanks. Hi, I have spent a couple of days trying to install Keberos 5 and Samba 3.0.11 on an AIX 4.3 (RS6000) system. It just refuses to install! I have tried all sorts of things. First, it (kerberos) kept complaining about not being able to determine some thread stuff, I got past that by using the --disable-thread option. Then configure goes through, but "make" crashes out. I was partially successful by installing GNU bison, and GNU binutils, now it goes much further before crashing out. I have included the tail end of the message below. I noticed that make had made quite a few of the kerberos program binaries, so I went ahead and did a "make install". That installed some of the binaries and then bombed out too! I tried to run kinit anyway and got "Illegal instruction (core dumped)" Bison 2.0 didn't work so I tried version 1.30 as suggested on the Net by someone experiencing the YACC's "shift" error for some other program he was trying to compile. I had some luck with version 1.30 Any ideas please? Samba won't successfully compile either. I couldn't locate any configure option that turns off threading in its case. I have also tried GNU make, but that bombed out almost immediately with some message about output file not specified or so. Openldap wouldn't compile either, but I was able to get a precompiled binary version which I just extracted out. Thanks.
