AW: [Nagiosplug-help] error regarding sys/mount.h during configure

[Kai Krebber]

In deed!

 

Trying to run configure for coreutils 5.2.1 on FreeBSD 6, I get a
WARNING that triggers a deja-vu event...:

 

:

checking sys/mount.h presence... yes

configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h: present but cannot be compiled

configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h:     check for missing prerequisite
headers?

configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h: see the Autoconf documentation

configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be
Compiled"

configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's
result

configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h: in the future, the compiler will take
precedence

configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##

configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to bug-coreutils at gnu.org ##

configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##

checking for sys/mount.h... yes

 

 

HTH,

 Kai

Hi!

 

Just about to install nagios 2.0 and nagios plugins 1.4.2 on my FreeBSD
6 box and encountered the following output from the configure-script:

Not sure about the implications yet - I'm just following orders....;-)

 

 

Kai,

 

This seems to suggest it is something to do with dependencies when using
various headers:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-08/msg00142.html.

 

The plugins use the code from coreutils 5.2.1. Can you try and compile
5.2.1 from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/coreutils/ on your FreeBSD box?

 

It maybe that we need to update to a newer version of coreutils to
support FreeBSD 6.
