Hi again,
Thanks Burton for the suggestion:
> Read config.log - you'll see the ACTUAL test program and error message -
It turns out that -I/usr/kerberos/include is present in RedHat9, and it's
not there on RHAS 3.
I traced it back to configureextra/LINUXredhat9 which contains these lines:
# If we have krb5.h and openssl was compiled with it, we need the -I setting
# since there's no way to easily test the latter and no harm from an extra
# -I, just do it...
if test -d /usr/kerberos/include &&
test -f /usr/kerberos/include/krb5.h; then
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/kerberos/include/ ${CPPFLAGS}"
fi
These lines are also necessary for RedHad Advanced Server 3 but there
doesn't seem to be a configureextra for RHAS 3... Should such a file be
added? What should be its name?
I did a bit of digging and found that the name of the file comes from the
execution of "utils/linuxrelease --release" which will have to be revised
for RHAS as it returns she string "3\n3)" where \n is a newline character:
on RedHat 9:
$ utils/linuxrelease --debug --release
DEBUG01: /etc/xxxxx-release found /etc/redhat-release
DEBUG04: /etc/lsb-release found
DEBUG06: /etc/UnitedLinux-release found
DEBUG11: Distribution is redhat
DEBUG12: fullrelease is Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
DEBUG16: Release is 9
9
On RHAS 3:
$ utils/linuxrelease --debug --release
DEBUG01: /etc/xxxxx-release found /etc/redhat-release
DEBUG04: /etc/lsb-release found /etc/lsb-release
DEBUG05: lsb release is 1.3
DEBUG06: /etc/UnitedLinux-release found
DEBUG11: Distribution is redhat
DEBUG12: fullrelease is Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update
3)
DEBUG16: Release is 3
3)
3 3)
The problem is in this part of the script which tries to find a numeric
argument in /etc/redhat-release:
release=`cat ${releaseFile} | \
head -n 1 | \
awk '{ for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) { if (0 + $i != 0) { print $i } } }'`
This doesn't work if the redhat-release file contains more than one word
that is numeric (or that starts with a number), which is the case with RHAS
3 as shown above.
As an indication, here is the content of /etc/redhat-release for different
versions of Linux we have running:
Red Hat Linux release 7.0 (Guinness)
Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma)
Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla)
Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS (Pensacola)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 3)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 3)
I don't know a lot about the 2.1AS branch, but I know there's also an ES
release in the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 3" branch.
Just for fun, I changed the redhat-release file from:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 3)
to:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update three)
and added a symbolic link in configureextra:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Sep 27 14:53 LINUXredhat3 ->
LINUXredhat9*
and ./configure stopped complaining about openssl/ssl.h!
By the way, I suspect that the other lines in configureextra/LINUXredhat9
(XML dump plugin stuff) are also needed for RHAS 3 as the ./configure script
also complains about some of the libs and includes necessary for the XML
plugin (in fact, it still complains even after the symbolic link trick
described above; I still have some digging around to do about this one).
