Hi, I am encountering some problems when trying to install Postfix from its source. I am compiling the latest version of Postfix-2.9.3 onto my Ubuntu Server 12.04. Here is my compilation detail make makefiles 'CCARGS=-DHAS_MYSQL -I/home/server/mysql/include/mysql -DUSE_TLS -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE=\"dovecot\" -DHAS_PCRE -I/usr/include' 'AUXLIBS=-L/home/server/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -L/usr/local/lib -lssl -lcrypto -L/usr/lib -lpcre' I am getting the following error messages ../../lib/libutil.a(dict_nis.o): In function `dict_nis_lookup': /home/src/postfix-2.9.3/src/util/dict_nis.c:173: undefined reference to `yp_match' /home/src/postfix-2.9.3/src/util/dict_nis.c:187: undefined reference to `yp_match' ../../lib/libutil.a(dict_nis.o): In function `dict_nis_init': /home/src/postfix-2.9.3/src/util/dict_nis.c:81: undefined reference to `yp_get_default_domain' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [sendmail] Error 1 make: *** [update] Error 1 I tried to google them on the Internet but to no avail. I was wondering if I need a certain package installed prior to postfix installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Did you install all dependencies with Code: apt-get build-dep postfix ? Also, you might want to disable dash by running Code: dpkg-reconfigure dash http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-u...urier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-ubuntu-12.04-lts should give you some hints.
Hi Falko, Thank you for your reply. I tried the command "apt-get build-dep postfix" but still got the same error messages as described in my earlier thread. Falko, thank you for the link. I would definitely use this link in a very short future. As soon as my postfix has been installed successfully, I'm gonna need to refer to the article you posted for guidance. However, in the article, I noticed you actually installed postfix from the Ubuntu package as opposed to installing it from the source which is what I am trying to do. Thank you
Oh, I was thinking you tried to build Postfix from the deb src package instead of from the real sources. In that case I'd try the following: Code: apt-get install build-essential binutils-gold
Hi Falko, Tried to run the command "$ apt-get install build-essential binutils-gold" but unfortunately didn't work. Still the same errors dict_nis.c:173: error: undefined reference to 'yp_match' dict_nis.c:187: error: undefined reference to 'yp_match' dict_nis.c:81: error: undefined reference to 'yp_get_default_domain' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [sendmail] Error 1 make: *** [update] Error 1 This is coming from dict_nis_init. I wonder what kind of header files I'd need for this to be recognized by the server. I don't know if binutils-dev might do the trick here. It's a trial and error experiment. Thank you
