Hello everyone.

Well, I am having a bugger of a time trying to install Samba 2.2.8 on my Red Hat 8.0 server via RPM.
Here is what I was attempting to do.

I downloaded the rawhide SRPM for Samba 2.2.8. I installed the source RPM and proceeded to add some additional entries in the samba.spec file. Specifically, I needed to add --with-ldapsam and a few others.

I ran rpmbuild -ba samba.spec and everything went well.

Where the problem begins is when I try and install samba-common.2.2.8 via RPM.
When I try to install it, it kicks out the following error:

[root@PDC RPMS]# rpm -Uvh samba-common-2.2.8a-0.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.4 is needed by samba-common-2.2.8a-0
libssl.so.4 is needed by samba-common-2.2.8a-0

Doing some researching, I see that libcrypto.so.4 and libssl.so.4 are installed from openssl. (0.9.7a I believe)

So I find out what version of ssl I am running:

[root@PDC RPMS]# rpm -qa |grep openssl
openssl-0.9.6b-33
openssl-devel-0.9.6b-33

This is what happens when I try to install/upgrade openssl:

[root@CourtesyPDC RPMS]# rpm -Uvh openssl-0.9.7a-5.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.2 is needed by (installed) python-2.2.1-17

So what I am trying to figure out is how I can remedy this situation. I need to figure out how I can install samba-2.2.8 onto my Red Hat 8.0 server.

If anyone has any suggestions or help, I would greatly appreciate it.


Thank you very much.

Or...how about this....

Is it possible, to somehow, find a source rpm for samba version 2.2.7?

Or, how can I install Samba via RPM, but specify a few additional options upon installation? For example:

--with-ldapsam
--with-profile
--disable-static

Anyone know a way or possibly doing this?
