stunnel install issues with mknod command - stunnel-users

4 May 2006


      Hi,
I was wondering if you could help me, I am trying to install stunnel on
a machine running solaris 10, but the catch is that I am trying to
install it within a zone in solaris 10, unfortunately during the
installation process after the source is compiled I see the following
error:
Making install in src
test -z "/usr/local/lib" || /bin/bash ../auto/mkinstalldirs
"/usr/local/lib"
 /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=install ../auto/install-sh -c
'libstunnel.la' '/usr/local/lib/libstunnel.la'
../auto/install-sh -c .libs/libstunnel.so /usr/local/lib/libstunnel.so
chmod +x /usr/local/lib/libstunnel.so
../auto/install-sh -c .libs/libstunnel.lai /usr/local/lib/libstunnel.la
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/lib
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - use the `-RLIBDIR' linker flag
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

After much digging around I have discovered that the mknod command
cannot be used within a solaris 10 zone, I have gotten round this
previously by installing stunnel from the global zone but that
intertwines the parent zone with the child zone and ideally we would
like to keep these as independent of each other as possible as we use
these zones for 3rs party applications and hence we have a lot of other
user traffic on these zones.
Thanks in advance for your help.
