Table B-2 TACACS+: Cannot Compile Daemon
Possible Problem Solution
make is not in $PATH or is not installed
on the UNIX machine
1. Enter the which make command at the UNIX prompt. If the output says
“No make in $PATH...,” make is not in the specified path or is not installed.
2. If make is already installed, modify the $PATH variable to include the
directory in which make is located.
If make is not installed, see your system administrator for help installing it.
3. Compile the TACACS+ daemon again.
gcc is not in $PATH or is not installed
correctly
1. Enter the which gcc command at the UNIX prompt. If the output says “No gcc
in $PATH...,” gcc is not in the specified path or is not installed.
2. If gcc is already installed, modify the $PATH variable to include the directory
in which gcc is located.
If gcc is not installed, ask your system administrator to install it.
3. Compile the TACACS+ daemon again.
UNIX platform is commented out or is
not in the Makefile
Your UNIX platform must be listed and uncommented in the Makefile for make to
compile the TACACS+ source code properly. The Makefile is located in the
tac_plus.2.1 directory.
1. Make sure that your UNIX platform is not commented out in the Makefile.
2. If your platform is not listed at all, see your system administrator for help with
compiling the source code. The only supported platforms are those listed in the
Makefile.
3. Compile the TACACS+ daemon again.
