Hi all, Please bear me since I'm a newbie. I'm unable to run ./configure on talloc source download. I get the following error on running ./configure : Traceback (most recent call last): File "./buildtools/bin/waf", line 76, in <module> Scripting.prepare(t, cwd, VERSION, wafdir) File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/buildtools/wafadmin/Scripting.py", line 145, in prepare prepare_impl(t, cwd, ver, wafdir) File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/buildtools/wafadmin/Scripting.py", line 135, in prepare_impl main() File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/buildtools/wafadmin/Scripting.py", line 188, in main fun(ctx) File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/buildtools/wafadmin/Scripting.py", line 241, in configure conf.sub_config(['']) File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/buildtools/wafadmin/Configure.py", line 237, in sub_config self.recurse(k, name='configure') File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/buildtools/wafadmin/Utils.py", line 634, in recurse f(self) File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/wscript", line 40, in configure conf.RECURSE('lib/replace') File "./buildtools/wafsamba/samba_utils.py", line 462, in RECURSE return ctx.sub_config(relpath) File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/buildtools/wafadmin/Configure.py", line 237, in sub_config self.recurse(k, name='configure') File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/buildtools/wafadmin/Utils.py", line 634, in recurse f(self) File "./buildtools/wafsamba/samba_utils.py", line 48, in runonce_wrapper ret = function(*args) File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/lib/replace/wscript", line 28, in configure conf.RECURSE('buildtools/wafsamba') File "./buildtools/wafsamba/samba_utils.py", line 462, in RECURSE return ctx.sub_config(relpath) File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/buildtools/wafadmin/Configure.py", line 237, in sub_config self.recurse(k, name='configure') File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/buildtools/wafadmin/Utils.py", line 634, in recurse f(self) File "./buildtools/wafsamba/samba_utils.py", line 48, in runonce_wrapper ret = function(*args) File "/mnt/hgfs/Diameter_Stack/talloc-2.0.8/lib/replace/../../buildtools/wafsamba/wscript", line 425, in configure conf.SAMBA_BUILD_ENV() File "./buildtools/wafsamba/wafsamba.py", line 70, in SAMBA_BUILD_ENV os.symlink('../' + p, link_target) OSError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported Please help me through.

Hi! I assume, that this is no configure issue - it is a "HGFS" issue. There are further notes about this if you search the net for hgfs and symlinks: "This issue occurs because the shared folders file system (HGFS) is not designed to allow navigation into a symbolic link." Best regards Björn
Thanks for Björn.. It works..!! Even though this is not about configure, I'm writing this in the same thread. But although the configure and compilation goes through fine, "make install" fails, with the following log : Note: Writing talloc.3 Waf: Leaving directory `/home/agilairedev/FreeRadius/talloc-2.1.0/bin' 'build' finished successfully (1.920s) [agilairedev@devhost talloc-2.1.0]$ make install WAF_MAKE=1 PATH=buildtools/bin:../../buildtools/bin:$PATH waf install ./buildtools/wafsamba/samba_utils.py:397: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead import md5 Waf: Entering directory `/home/agilairedev/FreeRadius/talloc-2.1.0/bin' * installing bin/default/talloc.pc as /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/talloc.pc Waf: Leaving directory `/home/agilairedev/FreeRadius/talloc-2.1.0/bin' Could not install the file '/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/talloc.pc' make: *** [install] Error 1 Please help me through.

Thats good :-) > Even though this is not about configure, I'm writing this in the same thread. > But although the configure and compilation goes through fine, "make install" > fails, with the following log : I'm sure that you do not have the permissions to write to the destination directory. Run make install as root. Please do not report those issues as bugs in future. If you are not sure whether it is a bug or not - you can ask the developers and users via the samba technical mailing lists. Best regards, Björn
Thanks for that as well.. :) It worked..! I was not aware of the fact that I can write to technical mailing lists, I'll do that in future.
