TACACS+ Installation Problem
 

Hello all! I'm trying install TACACS+ server version 4.0.4.19 from sources. (OS OpenSUSE 11.2) On the ./configure stage i've got the following error message

configure: error: Could not find libwrap. You must first install tcp_wrappers.

But libwrap library has installed already. I see this by the output of ls command within /lib directory

# ls /lib | grep wrap
libwrap.so.0
libwrap.so.0.7.6

So i suggested option --with-libwrap=/lib could help solve the problem. But it is not. Also i was tried make

#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib

with no result. The problem is still there.

Hope for your help. Thanx in advance!

The problem is partially solved. I've make ./configure with option --without-libwrap and not received any errors.
make and make install also has passed with no errors.

I don't know yet how it will affect on functionallity of server.

So if you have any thoughts will be interesting to know.

When configure asks for <name> , it means the complete library.
= (lib)<name> + (lib)<name>-devel.

And what you got is only the runtime library.

"libwrap" for Suse is in the packages : tcpd , tcpd-devel .

# zypper in tcpd-devel
.. will install the missing developing part of the library.

.....

Thanx knudfl! It's works!

For ubuntu, install libwrap0-dev
 

I just ran into this in Ubuntu 9.10. I had to install libwrap0-dev, since there was no tcpd-devel package:

apt-get install libwrap0-dev

After installing libwrap0-dev, I was able to run ./configure for tacacs+ with no errors.

CentOS with same issue
 

I had to run #yum install tcp_wrappers-devel to over come this road block.

Thanks pointing me in the right direction :)
