upgrading to Samba 3.0

[donkeyspunk]

Hello:

I am running Red Hat 2.1 AS with 2.2.1 Samba. I would like to upgrade to Samba 3.0.

Here is my issue:

I download the latest tar from Samba's web site
I go through the ./configure , make, make install, etc.

The problem is that after the make install, I am still running 2.2.1. I am missing a step here and can't get to the 3.0 version.

Anyone have any idea what am I missing / doing incorect?

Thanks in Advance

it's probably because the older version is in your path _before_ the newer version.

you most likely need to specify a prefix when you do your ./configure command to tell the installer where to put the binaries after it compiles them.

the syntax is:

./configure --prefix=/some/path

take a look at where the old samba on your system (distro-specific) is installed to and configure the install path accordingly.

(you can "make uninstall" to remove the buggered up samba 3.0 in the meantime)
