[Samba] Samba4 fails to work following upgrade - library version errors

[Graeme Porter]

Thanks Michael, I've got my domain controller back!


I'm now rather distinctly annoyed.  I *was* using a symbolic link in /usr/bin called "samba" that was pointing to /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba - this was the only way I found so far that I could avoid typing the whole command path every time - probably because I still can't see a way to persistently and globally add entries to the path variable (every time I tried this previously, if I logged out and logged in as a different user, my changes to the path were missing, and wouldn't even reappear when I logged back in as myself).

My symbolic link appears to have been replaced at some point with an actual version of Samba.  I don't know when or as part of what process (I am still a Linux newbie, so probably something I've done wrong again).

Also, thanks for introducing me to the "which" command - every day is an education!

Another build of Samba is in order - once again with the --enable-avahi flag, to see if that works out.

Many thanks again!


Kind regards
Graeme

It sounds like the "samba" binary on your PATH is the old version.

What does the following print:

$ which samba

Does it work if you use the full path name:

# /usr/local/samba/bin/samba -V
