Errors installing daemontools-0.76 on Suse 9.1

ServerStorm · 01-17-2005, 03:14 PM

Hi Everyone,

I am attempting to install D. J. Bernstein's daemontools-0.76 and I am getting errors. I think the problem may be related to not having the proper deve libraries install however gcc and its' derivatives are all installed (I saw someone in a previous thread solved their installation issue by including gcc; however mine was already installed via Yast). I have tried to find a resolution to this on SuSE forums, Googling (including Translating German Text) and queried past threads in this forumn, but I have not yet been able to fix this errror.

I get the following error attempting to use the installation instructions on D. J. Bernstein's site; also, if I attempt to patch the file I get an error that is included below in the following output:

Code:

I made sure that I edited Edit error.h and removed the line 'extern int errno;' and replaced it with #include <errno.h>.

I would appreciate your help in getting this installed.

I thought also that I might be missing something from the Glib libraries so I checked and found that the deve libraries were not installed. I installed them and then tried to compile again, but to no avail, same issue

I will plug on, but I hope someone out there can help!

Hi

I was able to solve this

and I thought I might pass on what I did. Here is the sequence that I used:

Code:

mkdir /package
chmod 1755 /package
cd /package
wget http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
tar -zxvf daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
mv admin/daemontools-0.76/ daemontools-0.76
rmdir admin/
wget http://www.qmail.org/moni.csi.hu/pub...76.errno.patch
patch -p0 < daemontools-0.76.errno.patch
cd daemontools-0.76/
./package/install
cd ..
rm daemontools-0.76.tar.gz daemontools-0.76.errno.patch

I added glib-devel2 libraries as well as glib static libraries, I chmod /package 1755 - I had not done this before. I used wget rather than using mozillia to download daemontools and the patch. I used the -p Num input option on the patch (If I understand it correctly it strips NUM leading components from file names. After these changes It patched and installed without errors. The solution could be all or just one of the things that I changed (sorry I didn't use proper troubleshooting and change one thing at a time) including download fresh TAR files.
