Re: bug #102226 regarding Samba: some good news !!

["James D. Freels" <freelsjd@ornl.gov>]

Well, I must admit that I had similar problems to you when building the same 
package on the Intel/Potato machine.  I have Intel/Woody here so it just 
installed without a build.  Basically what I did was compare my *dev* entries 
on my successful Alpha/Potato with that of my Intel/Potato and installed the 
difference.  Then the samba package built fine.  What I can say for sure is 
the 2.2.0.final.a samba source is running on all my machines now without a 
hitch and I had to build them for the potato machines.  In the case of my 
over-simplified e-mail from before, my Alpha/Potato machine just happened to 
have all the right packages already loaded.  There is no dependency built 
in to a source package.
