resolving symbols/relocations errors

[Brian Haney]

I'm building Samba 3.0.5 for a bootable Linux CD.  Everything seems to
work well (not that I've tested thoroughly, though) except for ntlm_auth.
When I run

	ntlm_auth --username=joesixpack

I get

	ntlm_auth: relocation error: /usr/lib/samba/charset/CP850.so:
undefined symbol: smb_register_charset

I found the missing function (smb_register_charset) in libsmbclient.so,
but cannot find the right incantation to have CP850.so link to it.

Now if I preload libsmbclient.so with

	export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libsmbclient.so

then execute

	ntlm_auth --username=joesixpack

I get a bunch of complaints on stderr like

	[2004/8/23 12:49:40, 0] lib/charcnv.c:init_iconv(134)
	  init_iconv: Conversion from CP850 to UTF8 not supported

but with a variety of character sets in addition to UTF8.  I do finally
get the proper "password:" prompt and ntlm_auth correctly authenticates
against the PDC (also Samba 3.0.5).

Lastly, here is my ./configure command line:

	./configure --prefix=/usr \
                        --localstatedir=/var \
                        --with-configdir=/etc/samba \
                        --with-privatedir=/etc/samba \
                        --with-lockdir=/etc/samba/lock \
                        --with-fhs \
                        --with-smbmount \
                        --with-libsmbclient \
                        --with-ssl \
                        --with-syslog \
                        --with-utmp \
                        --with-msdfs \
                        --with-acl-support \
                        --with-winbind \
                        --with-quotas \
                        --with-vfs \
                        --with-smbwrapper \
                        --with-swatdir=/usr/share/samba/swat \
                        --with-logfilebase=/var/log
	make proto
        make
	make install DESTDIR=/path/to/working/directory

I then copy the executables, libraries, etc into the CD tree for later
burning.

The bootable CD is for some in-house dedicated local master browsers in
our distributed domain.  It seems to work fine for that, but I'd still
like to solve this nuisance problem.

Any help appreciated.

TIA.
