Hello all.

I have a question regarding the installation of Daemontools 0.76 on Redhat 9 as a stage of the installation of DJBDNS.

How do I do it?

More specifically, I get this error...


[root@localhost daemontools-0.76]# package/install
Linking ./src/* into ./compile...
sh find-systype.sh > systype
rm -f compile
sh print-cc.sh > compile
chmod 555 compile
./compile byte_chr.c
./compile: line 3 exec: gcc: not found
make: *** [byte_chr.o] Error 127
Copying commands into ./command...
cp: cannot stat 'compile/svscan': No such file or directory

[root@localhost daemontools-0.76]#


I have not yet managed to find any explanation as to why this fails.

If someone could enlighten me (and others that I imagine are struggling), I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Looks like you need to install gcc. This probably also means that you'll need to install the other development tools as well.

mcleodnine> Thanks for your reply.

I see! I thought there was a problem with line 3 - it didn't occur to me that gcc wouldn't be installed!

I guess the minimal install for Redhat 9 really is minimal!

As a newbie to Linux, could you suggest how I can install just the gcc in redhat 9 from the commandline?


Thanks again,

LukasM

gcc should be on cd1, ij the /RedHat/RPMS/ directory. Mount the cd, go over to the directory and type rpm -ivh gcc*

Or if you activated your Red Hat entitlement you can just type
up2date gcc

This will solve all your dependencies and install everything you need. You will also need to patch daemontools so it will compile on Red Hat 9. There is a very good step by step install on www.qmailrocks.org. Just look through his install and you will find the daemontools stuff.

Thank you to both Vlad_M and wkm001 for you replies.

In the end I tried Vlad_M's approach - i'd prefer to have it configured before connection to the Internet.

I shall look into up2date - although it may take me a while to get that far!



My thanks once again,

LukasM

up2date is a nice tool, and its sort of like windowsupdate - very, very easy to use. So while I don't think it'll take you a while to get there, don't get to comfy with it, since I think that EOL of RH9 (i.e. the date when up2date will stop working) is April 2004 AFAIK.

But there are other tools, such as APT4RPM and yum, which use public repositories and are just as easy to use, so perhaps you should look into those too.

Anyway, glad we helped to sort out the gcc thingy.

Regards,

I´m a newbie user on Linux and I´m trying to installed dnscache on a O2 Server with Irix 6.5.

When I compile daemontools-0.76, I get the following error:

Edit error.h

remove the line extern int errno;

replace it with

#include <errno.h>

that should fix it.

This seems to fix alot of problems that I had setting up qmail (http://toslug.org/qmail_guide , quide i chose). Its as if i was trying to view a website and some one said... "Did you clear your cache?"

Thanks to all the members of this fourm
