Problem with rlm_counter in compiling

[Michael Mitchell]

Do you need to use rlm_counter? If not, you can simply delete the rlm_counter directory and run configure again then make, or delete rlm_counter from the MODULES item in Make.inc, and run make again.

The problem is that the compiler can't find gdbm.h. It may not be installed on your system, in which case the configure process should have removed rlm_counter from the Makefiles. If gdbm.h does exist, the configure script may not have updated the Makefile with the location of gdbm.h. If you know where gdbm.h exists on your system (config.log may give you some hints) then you can update RLM_CFLAGS in the Makefile in rlm_counter manually and see if you get any further.

Please report back with your progress, as it may help to improve the configure and Make process for the future.

Building freeRADIUS on Solaris always seems to be a little troublesome - I've had various problems with the configure scripts on Solaris 9 and 10 in the past. 

If none of this makes sense, shoot me an email and I can try to walk you through it in a bit more detail.

regards,
Mike
