I have a Dec/Compaq/HP system that I have loaded a fresh copy of the OS on, v5.1-b2. Configure runs fine but when I try to compile samba I get the following error(s). Linking bin/smbd ld: Unresolved: __unsafe_string_function_usage_here__ __unsafe_string_function_usage_here_size_t__ *** Exit 1 Stop. It looks like the different programs compile but when it tries to link it fails. It also does this for nmbd. I apparently must have not loaded some subset when I installed the OS, or maybe not. Which one or should I try to load gcc? Thanks for your help. Paul Crittenden Computer System Manager Simpson College email: crittend@simpson.edu Phone: (515)961-1680 One only needs 2 tools in life.
