That makes sense. I'm running on x86_64 and only see the i386 version on
samba.org. Anyway I found out my problem.
I should keep my trap shut until I gather the facts. And so, the missing
macros are in the redhat-rpm-config rpm. With that installed, the
rpmbuild -ba samba.spec worked perfectly without modification to the
spec file. I'm re-compiling again now with a new release number so I can
freshen up the system with the --with-ldapsam option enabled.
Later I may upgrade to 3.0.23d as you have done.
Thanks so far
Tom
