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

[Graeme Porter]

Hi Andrew,

I performed another upgrade yesterday

First a "git clean", then a "git pull", a "./configure --enable-selftest --enable-debug --enable-avahi", a "make", and finally a "make install"

After this had completed, I found that an older version of samba and smbclient had been copied into /usr/bin/ overwriting the symbolic links I had put in there.  So I had exactly the same problem as before.  I hadn't made any other changes to the system, so I know it's something to do with the Samba4 upgrade/install process.


The correct file path for samba and smbclient is /usr/local/samba/sbin - the installation process correctly installs the current version of those commands into that path.


Is there something in the configure/make/make install process that copies files into /usr/bin/, or is something else happening?  I'd look for it myself and contribute to the project if I only knew what I was doing  :)


Kind regards
Graeme

Well spotted Michael, this one really had me stumped!
