[Samba] Build 3.2.3a on RedHat 7.2

[Peter Hübschen]

Hello,

I have a RH 72 machine and if I do a ./configure everthings work fine. 
 If I understand the code of the configure-script right, then they write 
a message into a file (I think it's config.log) which program fails.
Here is this part of the configure script:

...
if { (eval echo configure:10396: \"$ac_link\") 1>&5; (eval $ac_link) 
2>&5; } && test -s conftest${ac_exeext} && (./conftest; exit) 2>/dev/null
then
  echo "$ac_t""yes" 1>&6
else
  echo "configure: failed program was:" >&5
  cat conftest.$ac_ext >&5
  rm -fr conftest*
  { echo "configure: error: cant find test code. Aborting config" 1>&2; 
exit 1; }
fi
...

As you can see there is an echo which writes an error message in a file.
So maybe you can check this.
Maybe there are some header-files missing, which should be documented in 
config.log.
To avoid these problems my RH 7.2 installation contains nearly all 
packages, especially these for kernel-development (if you install RH you 
have this option, when you do an userdefined install) and other 
development things, even if I'm not going to develop something, cause my 
knowledge auf C(++) is very poor.

Hope that helps a bit.

Peter
