make problem

[yrma]

Hi,

We have Linux Debian 3.0. We are trying to install zm-1.17.1. We run:

- ./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-webdir=/var/www --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin --prefix=/usr

No problem.

- perl zmconfig.pl

Fine

- mysql -u root -p < db/zmschema.sql

Great.

- perl zmconfig.pl

Superfine

- make
(...)

What's the problem?

Thank you very much,

the strsignal function is defined in /usr/include/string.h and is part of the glibc-headers rpm package as part of the Redhat distro. It looks like your version of linux doesn't have that function defined. Phil offers a patch to this problem in another thread:
