Hi Experts,

Below steps i carried out:
Installed : with nodeps.
1. rpm -ivh samba-common-3.0.9-1.3E.18.x86_64.rpm --nodeps
rpm -ivh samba-client-3.0.9-1.3E.18.x86_64.rpm --nodeps
rpm -ivh samba-3.0.9-1.3E.18.x86_64.rpm --nodeps

2. While starting smb:
/etc/init.d/smb start
Starting SMB services: smbd: error while loading shared libraries: libldap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[FAILED]
Gettting above error. I tried my best there is no luck..... Could any please help me ?

Thansk & Regards,

Those missing libraries are in the openldap and libcom_err packages. If you hadn't used --nodeps then it would not have let you install it, is there a specific reason you used --nodeps?

Is there a reason you aren't using yum for all this? yum will take care of all the dependencies for you.

You could try adding the --aid flag when installing, to automatically solve dependencies. Remove the --nodeps as well. Like this:

rpm -ivh --aid samba-3.0.9-1.3E.18.x86_64.rpm

Hi Papertrip/gerwin,
@Papertrip : Yes when i try to install the SAMBA pakage its asked for below dependencies, to over come the issue i had ued --nodeps.

YUM: We are not connected to RHN, we using YUM repositery server (without connecting to RHN) belo i tryed.

# yum install 'samba*'
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
Setting up Install Process
No package samba* available.
Nothing to do

@gerwin.
Now i eraised all SAMBA packages and tried.

# rpm -ivh --aid samba-3.0.9-1.3E.18.x86_64.rpm
warning: samba-3.0.9-1.3E.18.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 025e513b

rpm --aid is deprecated in favor of yum. Also --aid requires the dependency packages to be on the local system.

IT ANY POSSIBLE WAT TO FIX THE ISSUE WITHOUT USING YUM, OR WHERE I CAN GET LIB RPM'S

Papertrip

Wow.

Darr247

try
# yum install samba*

instead of 'samba*'

I'm pretty sure that message from yum is telling you it couldn't find a package named "samba*" (it searched for the literal samba* because you put the single quotes around it, instead of using the * as a wildcard, which it should do without single quotes).
