First of all great tutorial for a newbie like me trying to do server. I am currently trying to configure Suse 10.1 64 bit with ur 32 bit guide. Its been working fine until i get to the point where i need to make the proftpd package. I read some of the post at the end but it doesnt help at all and i have looked all over google. The post at the end of page 6 talked about the wrong version of "glibc-devel". I have even went as far as getting the rpms for em and that doesnt work either. when i do the ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc i get these errors: checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc Checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables see 'config.log' for more details. so if u can please help me or atleast let me know if i should just use another distro for a 64bit server. Im almost thinking of switching to FreeBSD 6 amd64. Thank you and please keep up the good work.
I came, I saw, I didnt understand??? well i saw that but i have no idea what is the right way to change that and what steps need to be taken to make the change in yast.
Open yast, go to the software installation tool and search for glibc. Uninstall the currently installed glibc-devel and install the glibc-devel for x86_64.
??? Im sorry but how do i actually do that...i searched throughout yast and i couldnt find the files. Can i please get a walk through on how to do it. or what source do i need. thanks in adavnce.
Run Code: yast on the shell (as root), and then go to Software -> Software Management. There you should see a search button where you can search for the desired package.
