Dear people,

I tried to install squidguard. However after using the comman "make" it generated many errors, which is shown below.

[root@matrix squidGuard-1.2.0]# make

anyone knows what is wrong ?
Thanks in advance!

hi there

make install won't work untill "make " goes fine

also did u run ./configure

have a look at the INTSALL or readme file in the source for more detalls

regards

Thanks!

But then I did ./configure which was ok.

Only when I got to make that it showed errors.

many many programms get hung up and need certain versions of BerkleyDB or the other
there are ways to keep a little collection of them around so everybody is happy
squidGuard page says it needs db-2.x
i guess check first to see if your distribution has a version of db-2 to install in some compatability function without disturbing the one you are running

if you try to build it yourself by all means use
cd build_unix &&
../dist/configure --prefix=/opt/db-2.x --enable-compat185

so as not to overwrite your current version then i think for the squidGuard config it would be something like
--with-db-lib=/opt/db-2.x/lib --with-db-inc=/opt/db-2.x/include
to point it in the right direction

It's nothing you did, it's code that your system can't deal with on line 107 of /root/squidGuard-1.2.0/src/sgDb.c

specifically, the function sgDbInit(). The compiler wants more arguments in the function for some reason or another. Unless you are the author, I doubt you will fix it without a headache of effort in trying to find out what the author wanted that specific function to do. Especially if it is not commented code, it will be nearly impossible.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Hi masand, foo_bar_foo and Borrden,

Thank you very much for the help.
I tried other tarball source code , the make command was ok .
Its more relieved to hear that its the author's fault then mine. Because I thought I kept making mistakes.

Once again, thanks!

Hi there

I have this problem too , I am new to linux networking .

Please tell me how can I finally fix this problem .

Best Regards,
The Persian Patient .

Done .

but not working !

Huh? Can you post some output for us to work with?

Hi PersianPatient,

The other guy in the Forum said it was because of the source code error. Its the author's error.
I didn't fix it at the end but I tried download the sourcecode from other source and it worked well.

try to dl the files from other source and try again.

Thank You .

I have installed the squidGuard on my linux server and configured it to block some domain , for example : sex.com and redirect to another URL but it dose not work .

it allows all domain to open .

please help me to block my unwanted domain .

Best Regards,
The Persian Patient .

Hello PersianPatient,

Regarding squidguard, I am also working on it now. i have just finished installing it and whenI started it it says ready to serve. But I have try to test it on any server machine. I am waiting for my administrator to put a dial up line for me to test it. If successful I will show you what I did, at the moment not sure if its successful, I don't want to give you wrong advice yet..

give me a few days.

Dear Niceman2005

Thank you for your attention . I am waiting for your answer .

Thank you my friend .
The Persian Patient .

Hello Persian patient,

I got stucked when I tried to enable squidguard as redirect_program in the squid configuration file. for some reason it everything don't work after I changed the redirect_program to my squidguard path.

all the squid commands such as squid -k reconfigure, service squid restart gave me msgs like "abort","fatal error permission denied" etc....

I am not sure why...hope I can figure that out.
sorry about that, didn't help youmuch.

Hello dear Niceman2005 ;

You may need to reconfigure your squidguard.conf file . if you have this problem again , take a look at your squidguard log file .

if you have permission denied error message you need to assign permission to user that you set in your configuration file .

please copy and paste your error messages here .

GoodLuck,
The Persian Patient .
