Description Eric Buddington 2005-11-27 13:10:30 UTC 
./configure --prefix=/packages/samba/3.0.20b/any --exec-prefix=/packages/samba/3.0.20b/i386 i386

I get a segmentation fault immediate when running smbd, nmbd, or testparm:

-bash-2.05b# testparm /etc/smb.conf
Load smb config files from /etc/smb.conf
Processing section "[elena]"
Segmentation fault

-bash-2.05b# gdb /usr/bin/testparm  core

Looks like you have a bad iconv library.  What platform 
is this (hardware and OS)?
Comment 2 Eric Buddington 2005-11-28 09:42:31 UTC 
Processor: AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2000+
OS: Linux 2.6.15-rc1-mm2 #1 PREEMPT

My iconv library was 1.9.1. I upgraded to 1.10, but it didn't help.
./configure looks for giconv.h and doesn't find it - is this a problem? ./configure doesn't give an error; I just see it in config.log.

On the other hand, my testparm, smbd, and nmbd binaries are not dynamically linked against libiconv (and my libiconv does not include a static version). Since 'make' doesn't show the compile/link commands, I can't tell if it's using a built-in iconv, or my system's...

I need your config.log.  Thanks.
Comment 4 Eric Buddington 2006-01-17 22:36:16 UTC 
I've upgraded various things since then (including samba to 3.0.21a), and I can no longer reproduce the problem. I don't think I can add anything else useful - perhaps this should be closed?

ok.  Thanks.  Closing out.
