configure: error: You must have libmhash properly installed.


any suggestions? I searched but didn't come up with anything

Try apt-get install aide

my bad

running redhat enterprise 3

I don't have apt-get :)

www.rpmfind.net
rpm.pbone.net

look for aide
The configuration error tells you exactly what the problem is, you need libmhash. If you've installed it, make sure the libraries are installed and ldconfig is configured to their location, then re-run ldconfig. Another thing is to make sure the path to libmhash is in your path (if it's trying to exec a binary).

root@honda [~/aide-0.10]# ldconfig -v | grep hash
libmhash.so.2 -> libmhash.so.2.0.0

doesn't that confirm that it is installed ok ?

In configuration, tell the script where to find what it's looking for, sometimes it's looking for older (or newer) versions of something. This isn't really unusual. Try ./configure --help , usually that'll show you the options you can specify, one is probably just the option you need.

Hi,

Please try to download and install mhash-0.8.18.

or

It may because of:

/usr/local/lib is not on your linker's path, so it can't find libmhash.*, which is fixed on Linux by doing the following:

#vi /etc/ld.so.conf

add /usr/local/lib to the end
(save)
run ldconfig (traditionally in /sbin)(if it is a linker problem then resolved)

Regards,

Bright:)

thanks Brightadmin, installing mhash-0.8.18 did the trick :D
