Thanks a lot for your reply. I was going crazy because of this issue.

Let me answer your questions.
Can you cat talloc.pc-  make sure the config file shows the correct path.
>>>bash-3.2# more /usr/local/samba-extras/lib/pkgconfig/talloc.pc
prefix=/usr/local/samba-extras
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: talloc
Description: A hierarchical pool based memory system with destructors
Version: 2.0.7
Libs: -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/samba-extras/lib -L${libdir} -ltalloc
Cflags: -I${includedir}
URL: http://talloc.samba.org/

I wonder what the significant difference is between your two solaris 10 machines.  Which gcc are you using.  Do either of them have the sunfreeware versions of samba?  Or the sun bundled versions of samba.   Maybe one machine already has libtalloc installed.    What does "pkginfo | grep -i samba" show?  I think samba 3.0x. binaries from Sun/Oracle may have been in /usr/sfw/bin not /usr/bin.

What is the current version of samba you are running.  Did you compile that or is if from a package?  Is the current version in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH when compiling the new one?
>>>Working machine we were compiled samba 3.0.21b. now compiled 3.4.17. Non working machine current version 3.4.2(as package, not from source code) since 3.0.21b was not getting compiled.
Working machine OS is Solaris 10_update 5. Non-working machine is latest OS Solaris 10_update 10.

PS The samba 3.4.17 source code includes talloc.  But it might be 1.0.x  Maybe try downloading and compiling 1.0.x instead.       And I would try building it into the same directory that you are building the rest of samba.
>>>I don't see 1.0.x under http://www.samba.org/ftp/talloc/. So I tried with 2.0.7.
bash-3.2# pwd
/usr/local/talloc-2.0.7
bash-3.2# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba-3.4.17/source/

Is the current version in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH when compiling the new one?
>>>No they are not included in the new one.
bash-3.2# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/samba-extras/lib/
bash-3.2# echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/local/samba-extras/lib/pkgconfig/

3.4.2 were under /usr/local/samba/. I moved as /usr/local/samba-3.4.2.

Thanks,
Prabu

Hi,
As a security concern we are upgrading samba to 3.4.17.
I tried all possible option to compile samba 3.4.17 on Solaris 10_U10. But it is not going through.

User requirement is to compile samba 3.4.17 to support their application. 3.4.17 is working on Solaris 9 and Solaris 10_U5. But not on Solaris 10_U10.
./configure and make gives error related to talloc. I have set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Still the error is same.

I tried the solution provided by you on URL http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2010-June/156711.html
Can you help me with this issue.

bash-3.2# pwd
/usr/local/samba-3.4.17/source3
bash-3.2# more config.err
Package talloc was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `talloc.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'talloc' found

I see on  http://www.samba.org/ftp/talloc/  that there is both talloc 1.3.x and talloc 2.0.x.    I am looking through some of my old builds and my old build notes.   With samba I seem to have compiled talloc 2.0.x separately (I have the pkgconfig files.)     I think samba 3.4.x I have just compiled with out talloc.


Can you cat talloc.pc-  make sure the config file shows the correct path.


I wonder what the significant difference is between your two solaris 10 machines.  Which gcc are you using.  Do either of them have the sunfreeware versions of samba?
