I'm really at a loss here. The installation of BIND 4.8 went smoothly,
nslookup works fine, but other programs compiled with -lresolv don't work.
The call to gethostbyname() doesn't even generate any request packets;
instead, h_errno is set to TRY_AGAIN and errno is set to ENOTTY
("inappropriate ioctl for device").
Does this sound familiar to anyone? If anyone out there has installed
BIND 4.8 without problems, let me know so I can go quietly insane.

Needless to say, it's pretty advisable to create the file whether you have a local server running or not -- so much for RTFM. Thanks, Mike. OK, so BIND does work practically out of the box. Another blow struck in the battle to eliminate YP in our lifetime .. [ p.s. For anyone who was wondering: we never did get the Fujitsu M2372s to work. The boss-man said, "This isn't worth it," and traded the 2372s in for 2382s (Swallow 5s). ] ---------------- Paul M.

In the hopes that I might help in sidestepping some insanity here is the file I wrote talking about the installation processes. ****************** Instructions for installing BIND onto the Math Sciences ****************** systems at the U of Kentucky. Into ~src/add.to.dist/ultrix/named: Doc: bind<ver>/doc Man: bind<ver>/man .: bind<ver>/named Make sure -DSTATS and -DDEBUG are set. Add -I/usr/src/local/inet/Include to CFLAGS= Add -lresolv to RES= Remove "tools" from SUBDIR because that directory is elsewhere. Remove dependencies on /usr/include/machine/machparam.h because that's apparently a 4.3bsd-tahoe-ism that doesn't exist on our machines. Same goes for /usr/include/net/if_arp.h. Change install: to install to /usr/etc/named. Into ~src/inet/Bin: bind<ver>/bin/* Into ~src/inet/LibResolv: bind<ver>/res/* (recursive) DO NOT RUN mkdep ON Ultrix SINCE IT DOESN'T HAVE "cc -M" Create Makefile by taking Makefile.resolv to start with. Take the .c.o: rule from Makefile (move Makefile to Makefile.noresolv first). Create a libresolv_p.a rule like: libresolv_p.a: ${OBJS} cd profiled; ar cru ../libresolv_p.a ${OLBS} Fix install: to install libresolv_p.a, and to install things into /lib instead of /usr/lib. Fix the gethostnamadr.o: and sethostent.o: tags to match the .c.o: rule above. Make all: libresolv.a libresolv_p.a Add -I../Include to DEFS= Into ~src/inet/Include: bind<ver>/include Put a Makefile there like: > all: > > install: > install -c -m 444 -o bin -g bin netdb.h /usr/include/local > install -c -m 444 -o bin -g bin resolv.h /usr/include/local > > clean: Into ~src/inet/nslookup: bind<ver>/tools/nslookup In Makefile, RES= -lresolv, CFLAGS+= -I../Include Disable the depend: tag Fix install: to install to /usr/local/etc, and not to install man pages directly to /usr/man but to use addman instead. Change main.c to reference /usr/local/etc/nslookup.help for the help file. Adding other stuff to ~src/inet: Make sure that -lresolv and -I../Include are used at appropriate places in the Makefiles. -- <-- David Herron; an MMDF guy <david@ms.uky.edu> <-- ska: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <-- Now I know how Zonker felt when he graduated ... <-- Stop!
