[Samba] unable to run samba 4.6.2 bits compiled from source

[Gaiseric Vandal]

Is an older version of samba still installed?

It would probably have been safer to set prefix as /usr/local  or 
/usr/local/samba instead of /usr.    That reduces the chance of 
overwriting key system files and it makes it easier to roll back a the 
install.  You do need to then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH before 
running samba.


You may want to install the version you built, reinstall the default 
version using apt, and then recompile samba 4.x to /usr/local.


Is this a production system?  Could you upgrade to Ubuntu 16 LTS?
