Issues in compiling samba-3.5.4 from source

[Abhinav Gupta3]

I was able to start smb services using smbd -D and nmbd -D, but almost all 
the binaries are giving errors. I'm not sure which libraries/modules have 
not been installed by "make install" and "make installbin"

lf9:/usr/local/samba/lib# smbtree
Enter root's password:
Broken pipe

lf9:/usr/local/samba/lib# smbget

smbcontrol is for controlling already running processes. You
need to start smbd with

/usr/local/sbin/smbd -D

or add it to your AIX initialization procedure. The latter
is pretty AIX specific, so I can't be of much help there.
