SAMBA 2.2.8a install on AIX 5.2

[Stephen Spencer]

I am attempting to install Samba 2.2.8a on AIX 5.2

When I run the make command, after doing the configuration it compiles
everything OK but when it tries to link I get the following error:
Linking bin/smbd
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .SAFE_FREE
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .VA_COPY
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more
information.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 8.

I had no problem doing the install on AIX 4.3.3.

Does anybody have any idea what my problem is?

Thanks,
Stephen Spencer

Hallo Stephen,

you did not write, which compiler you used. I compiled Samba 2.2.8a few
weeks ago with IBM VAC++ 6 on a pSeries 670 with 5L Ver. 5.1 and 5.2
successfully. However, I could not compile the sources on the same system
with gcc and g++ (2.9.aix51.020209-3). gcc and g++ worked fine for the same
sources on a 4.3.3 system. Hence to keep things simple I'd recommend you use
the IBM compiler if you can - there is a 30 day trial version available from
IBM. If you do not succed, I might send you Samba 2.2.8a as installp
package.

Regards,
Andreas

Unless there's a reason to install 2.2.8, why not just install the
2.2.7 rpms from
[url]http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/download.html[/url]

I guess you could also install the samba package from bull:

The reason is that there is a security vulnerability in Samba versions
prior to 2.2.8a.

So, there is a very GOOD reason to do the upgrade. Let us all upgrade
together, and sing the hymn of praise, "It compiled on the first
make".

there is an announcement from IBM that the security fixes for samba 2.2.8.a
are included in IBM RPM Samba Version 2.2.7-4

That is **SO** IBM. Fix something, but backlevel it so it is out of
sync with the rest of the world...

But, cool! Thanks for that update -- will pass it along to others
here, as the RPM version is acceptable internally, while the freeware
compiles are considered "unsafe". (grumble)
