FW: [Samba] Samba 3.0.11 on AIX 4.3

[Ayotunde Itayemi]

Eh ... will someone kindly take a look at this? I have "reduced"
the mail since it wasn't answered at all since I sent it in a
couple of days ago. Thanks.


Hi All,
 
Pls has anyone successfully installed Samba 3 on an AIX 4.3 (RS6000)
system? 
The only precompiled binary I was able to find - v 3.0.4 from
bullfreeware.com 
did not work after installation. I haven't been successful trying to
install 
it from source. I have downloaded various requisite programs such as
kerberos 
(which won't compile either) and openldap.

I am particularly interested in Samba's ability to join a Windows2K
domain 
and its ACLs capabilities. Pls any help would be appreciated.

First, it (kerberos) kept complaining about not being able to determine 
some thread stuff, I got past that by using the --disable-thread option.
Then configure goes through, but "make" crashes out.
I was partially successful by installing GNU bison, and GNU binutils, 
now it goes much further before crashing out. 
Bison 2.0 came up with a YACC's "shift" error but I had some luck with
version 1.30
 
Any ideas please? Samba won't successfully compile either. I couldn't
locate any 
configure option that turns off threading in its case.
 
I have also tried GNU make, but that bombed out almost immediately with 
some message about output file not specified or so.
 
Openldap wouldn't compile either, but I was able to get a precompiled
binary 
version which I just extracted out.

The error I got after the installation of v 3.0.4 when I tried to 
start the executables was (:

The error changed slightly after I extracted a precompiled version of 
openldap (openldap.2.2.21.tar) to:

bash-2.05b# smbd
