problems compiling on redaht AS 3.0

Hi

Apologies if this is a multiple post I had some problems with
subscribing resulting in bounced posts, so I'm not sure if messages got
through(and the archive at
http://lists.backhand.org/pipermail/wackamole-users/ only goes to upto
april so I couldn't check).

As for the actual reason for posting.

I'm trying to compile the latest download of wackamole on Redhat AS 3.0
(the pay for advanced server offering) on an intel box with gcc 3.2.3
(the default), up2date has been run so it is as modern as redhat allow.

Spread has compiled without problems, with whackamole I get the
following errors:

./configure --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/include \
> --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib --prefix=/usr/local/whacka
.........skip entries for brevity.....

checking whether snprintf correctly terminates long strings... no
configure: WARNING: ****** Your snprintf() function is broken, complain
to your vendor checking for char... yes checking size of char...
configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (char), 77

Any ideas on a solution?

thanks in advance for any help

It's a bad error message.

If you've install spread, you need to make those libraries accessible
to the rest of the system (or at least to wackamole) for run-time
linking.

either add "--with-ldflags=-Wl,-rpath=/path/to/spread/lib"
or add them to the system by adding "/path/to/spread/lib" to your
/etc/ld.so.conf and run "ldconfig" as root.

I install my spread trees with --prefix=/opt/spread, so my lib dir
looks like /opt/spread/lib

Enjoy.

Thanks Theo

The compile, make, and "make install" now works with a default install
of spread (i.e. spread libs in /usr/local/lib)

./configure --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/include \
--with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib \
--with-ldflags=-Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib \
--prefix=/usr/local/whacka

works on redhat AS 3.0
(obviously change the prefix to whatever you like /usr/local/whacka is
just my choice)
