Hai Everybody, GoodEvening,

Iam new to Linux ... Actually i don't know how to install ...

I am having Redhat 9 O.S. ... I download a file Samba-3.0.7.tar.gz from samba.org...

I unzipped the file using "gzip" command and extracts the files using "tar" command......

now what is the next step...... I didn't find Install.html file after extraction....

Iam very appreciate ..... if could any body help me how to proceed....

Thanq with regds,

Zameer Ahmed Syed.

Try this... it shows you how to extract and install programs from source. I found it very useful.
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Building-HOWTO.html

The quick way:
cd samba-3.0.7/source
./configure
make
su -
password:*******
make install

For more options run: ./configure --help

hi nmares,

Thanq for ur kind reply......
I type just "make" command then it shows me a message

no target is specified and no makefile found...

what i have to do next ..... iam very new to linux... if u don't mind plz tell me the next process

one more thing nmares,

when i type a command xmkmf -a fro terminal then its shows me the follwoing the message

imake -DUseInstalled -I/USX/X11R6/lib/X11/config
imake : No such file or directory
imake : No description file
stop.

what is it ? whats next

Thanq

could any body help me what's next to proceed.....

Did ".configure" work? You first need to get into the directory where the configure script is and then execute it. It will set things proper to your system (if possible) or say you that something is missing. After that you can use "make"...

zameer_inda,

Heres the syntax that should work,

CD /directory_where_source_is
./configure
make
make install

That should work, however if you have any problems then let us know.

Hope that helped,

Regards
