[Samba] latest version (3.0.2a) on AIX 5.2 ML2 segmentation fault and core dump

[William Jojo]

Check your /etc/environment file and see if LANG=C if it reads anything
other than LANG=C (like LANG=en_US) you will get this segfault. You will
need root priv to change this.

Bill

Then I downloaded the 3.0.2a source and compiled it with --prefix=/usr/local and --with-libiconv=/usr/local/special. It compiled with some warnings (see below) but no errors. I installed it, but when I run the net command, I get a segmentation fault and a core dump. I am using gcc 3.3.2 on AIX 5.2 ML2. I don't know if any of these matter, but here are the warnings I got:
