Proftpd problem

saudoi · 11-05-2005, 12:23 AM

Hi all,

I'm trying to install FTP server using Proftpd. I follow this tutorial http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ticle&artid=17

However, when i execute the command: ./configure, i have an error "No acceptable C compiler found in $PATH"

Here is the output

Code:

-bash-3.00# ./configure
checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10
checking target system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

and this is output of $PATH env

Code:

-bash-3.00# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

How do i need to do to fix it?

Thanks in advance

The PATH doesn't include the path of gcc/cc.If you have the directory:/opt/sfw/bin and gcc is in it ,you can add it to PATH.If there isn't gcc ,you must install it.

hmm, maybe I have to install gcc and C compiler. I don't see the directory /opt/sfw/bin

Check in /usr/sfw/bin. GCC and a few other GNU tools that get installed with
Solaris, reside in /usr/sfw. OTOH, Companion CD software gets into /opt/sfw.

And, don't install GCC from Companion CD. Many have had problems with it.

Solaris 10 includes gcc in /usr/sfw. If you haven't it there, that means you choose a partial Solaris installation (end-user) instead of a developper or better, full install.

oh, that mean I should re-install my server again with full option... hmm, I will do it at the Monday :-)

In fact, I'd downloaded 4 CDs from SUN Site, and when I finished disk 4, the installation asked me for another disks but I didn't have them so I chose skip for them. Maybe they were the caused of problems. I will try again.... 1st time with Solaris, not easy....

You need not.

Gcc is on one of these four disks.

Solaris installation may not be that simple, but it seems to me easy to understand that selecting a non developer installation implies the compiler won't be there.

Instead of reinstalling Solaris from scratch, you may find simpler to install gcc from blastwave or sunfreeware.

Can I have "add/remove Solaris component" as "add/remove Windows component" in Windows world ?

jlliagre · 11-05-2005, 02:02 PM

pkgadd/pkgrm
or the higher level
pkg-get, from blastwave.

AgentX · 11-06-2005, 01:46 AM

prodreg is equivalent to "Add/Remove Programs" in Windows. As jlliagre said,
pkgadd/pkgrm are command line tools for installing and removing software
in Solaris Package format.

Oh, if i want to add gcc which included in 4 disks Solaris 10, how can i do ?

jlliagre · 11-06-2005, 10:30 AM

Put the CD-ROM containing gcc in your drive, then run something like:

Code:

cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Product
pkgadd -d . SUNWgccmn
pkgadd -d . SUNWgccruntime
pkgadd -d . SUNWgcc

Then, get gcc patches from sunsolve, as it seems the initial Solaris 10 gcc had several bugs.
Alternatively, you can install gcc from blastwave:

Code:

pkg-get -i gcc

Finally, you can go the Solaris Express way, and use Sun's own compiler for free as a member of the OpenSolaris community.

jlliagre, is there any way to both install and save a package with all its
dependencies when using pkg-get from Blastwave? I can either save the
packages (without dependencies, of course) or install them.

I basically want to save them, so I can install them on my other machines, and
I'll also able to use them later whenever I want to.

Any help?

jlliagre · 11-06-2005, 11:40 AM

"pkg-get -d" will download a package without installing it, you can then install from the saved file later on another computer (or the same).

AgentX · 11-06-2005, 11:44 AM

pkg-get -d downloads the file in the current directiry, but without any dependencies.
pkg-get -i installs programs with required dependencies.

What I want is to download and save my specified packages with all their
dependencies for future usage. There doesn't seem any workaround so far.
