While your guide is useful, there are a couple of important things you're not doing. * You're building this as a root user. Never do this: Configure your $HOME/.rpmmacros to set your rpm build directories to include something like this: %_topdir /home/username/rpm * SRPM's can be rebuilt with the command "rpmbuild --rebuild filename.src.rpm", which also cleans up the mess in your BUILD and SOURCES and SPECS subdirectories left behind. * Recent Fedora RPM's remain an issue to grab on the current CentOS and RHEL releases, due to the recent change in checksum tools. Replacing RHEL published components with recent Fedora ones is... a potential compatibility risk. * Instead of manually installing Samba and losing all that RPM component information, Why not review the SRPM's at http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.5/rhel/5/? It's a valuable resource for leading edge Samba RPM's, and you can rebuild Samba cleanly from them to install as RPM's, even if you don't care to use the RPM's there directly. That will report all your build requirements as well, and save deducing them manually. And it gets you away from replacing bind. * I love configuring and using "mock" to build my RPM's, to prevent changes in my development machines libraries from skewing my builds of important software like Samba. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

This is a guide to test the functions of Samba4 (nothing with Samba 3.X) on centos 5.5 nothing else. ----------------------------------------------- EDV Daniel Müller Leitung EDV Tropenklinik Paul-Lechler-Krankenhaus Paul-Lechler-Str. 24 72076 Tübingen Tel.: 07071/206-463, Fax: 07071/206-499 eMail: mueller(a)tropenklinik.de Internet: www.tropenklinik.de ----------------------------------------------- -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Nico Kadel-Garcia [mailto:nkadel(a)gmail.com] Gesendet: Montag, 26.
