B.5 Fixing Build-Time Error Messages

B.5.1 __inet Symbols

If you have installed BIND-8, then this is normally due to a conflict between your include files and your libraries. BIND-8 installs its include files and libraries in /usr/local/include/ and /usr/local/lib/, while the resolver that comes with your system is probably installed in /usr/include/ and /usr/lib/.

If your system uses the header files in /usr/local/include/ before those in /usr/include/ but you do not use the new resolver library, then the two versions will conflict. To resolve this, you can either make sure you use the include files and libraries that came with your system, or make sure to use the new include files and libraries.

If you're using Apache 2.0 or later, or Apache 1.3 with the APACI build script, you can make changes to the library search lists by defining them on the ./configure command line:

% LIBS=-lbind ./configure  ... 

If you're using Apache 1.3 or earlier and controlling the build process by editing the Configuration file directly, just add -lbind to the EXTRA_LDFLAGS line in the file.

After making the appropriate change to your build configuration process, Apache should build with the correct library.

Apache Versions 1.2 and earlier use EXTRA_LFLAGS in the Configuration file instead.

As of BIND 8.1.1, the bind libraries and files are installed under /usr/local/bind by default, so you should not run into this problem. Should you want to use the bind resolvers, you'll have to add the following to the respective lines:

• For Apache 1.3 with APACI, or 2.0 and later:

  % CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/bin/include \  > LDFLAGS=/usr/local/bind/lib LIBS=-lbind \  > ./configure  ... 

• For Apache 1.2 or 1.3 with direct editing of Configuration, add/change the following lines in the file:

  EXTRA_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/bind/include EXTRA_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/bind/lib EXTRA_LIBS=-lbind
