I found the samba4 HOW-TO on the wiki and I have followed it to using Ubuntu server versions 11.10 and 10.04.  I have been unsuccessful at step 4 running the provision script.  I have run the following commands to get to get to this point:

$ sudo git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git samba-master; cd samba-master
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libattr1-dev libblkid-dev libgnutls-dev libreadline5-dev python-dev autoconf python-dnspython gdb pkg-config bind9utils libpopt-dev

When this command was run on 11.10 I received an error that the package libreadline5-dev was not found.  As an alternative the libreadline-gplv2-dev or lib64readline-gplv2-dev were suggested, I chose the libreadline-gplv2-dev, because it was a 32 bit install, as the replacement.

$ sudo ./configure.developer
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ./source4/setup/provision --realm=home.com --domain=HOME --adminpass=P at ssw0rd --server-role='domain controller'

The following is the output of I am receiving on both editions.

bin/tdbbackup: /home/administrator/samba-master/bin/shared/private/libtdb.so: version `SAMBA_4.0.0ALPHA18_DEVELOPERBUILD' not found (required by bin/tdbbackup)

    raise Exception("Error copying %s" % file1)
Exception: Error copying /usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb

I am fairly new to working with samba and I do not know where to look to get this working and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
