How to fix this so I can install Samba on FreeBSD?

Hi, if you don't need any additional options, you can use the package net/samba35 instead of compile samba from the ports collections. Here you will find the official howto docs/man/Samba - so for the future. Another option is to wait a few minutes and try again, as evidenced by the No address record message. Also check the /etc/resolv.conf file for errors [1]. This file should contain e.g. the IP addresses from your ISP. To fix this problem you can also fetch these apps manually, as described here: port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again. So, please change directory to # cd /usr/ports/distfiles/

next, try to fetch these packages with e.g. # wget [url]http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz[/url]

If you still receive error messages, simply try find another page e.g: http://www.filewatcher.com/m/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz.613261.0.0.html or ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/jpeg8b2/jpegsrc.v8b.tar.gz for jpegsrc but v8b. If successful, return to the samba directory in ports collection - net/samba35 - and run # make install clean


I hope it will help you.



[1] For example you can add OpenDNS IP address (tip: if you create an account on the official website, you will have access to several interesting options, like filtering content on the web sites.) # echo '208.67.222.222' > /etc/resolv.conf
