I take it you mean 'DC' instead of 'PDC'

The './configure' options should have no affect on the 'provision' 
command (I take it you mean 'provision' instead of 'promote') , can you 
tell us what packages you installed to compile Samba, what you actually 
get in the provisioned smb.conf when it doesn't work, finally can you 
post the provision command you are using.
