XTACACS: Cannot Compile Daemon
Symptom: Attempts to compile the XTACACS daemon result in errors.
Table 24-7 outlines the problems that might cause this symptom and describes solutions to those
problems.
Table 24-7 XTACACS: Cannot Compile Daemon
XTACACS: Daemon Not Up and Running
Symptom: The XTACACS daemon is not up and running.
Table 24-8 outlines the problems that might cause this symptom and describes solutions to those
problems.
Table 24-8 XTACACS: Daemon Not Up and Running
Insufficient disk space Make sure there is sufficient disk space for the expanded xtacacsd.tar.z or
xtacacsd.tar file. If there is not enough space on your UNIX system, free up enough
disk space to accommodate decompression of the file. XTACACS requires about
350 KB.
Possible Problem Solution
make is not in $PATH or is not
installed on the UNIX machine
Step 1 Enter the command which make at the UNIX prompt. If the output says
“No make in $PATH...,” make is not in the specified path or is not
installed.
Step 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.
Step 3 Compile the XTACACS daemon again.
gcc not in $PATH or not
installed correctly
Step 1 Enter the command which gcc at the UNIX prompt. If the output says “No
gcc in $PATH...,” gcc is not in the specified path or is not installed.
Step 2 If gcc is already installed, modify the $PATH variable to include the
directory in which gcc is located.
If gcc is not installed, see your system administrator for help installing it.
Step 3 Compile the TACACS+ daemon again.
UNIX platform commented out
or not in makefile
Your UNIX platform must be listed and uncommented in the makefile for make to
compile the XTACACS source code properly. The makefile is located in the
directory where you installed XTACACS.
Step 1 Make sure that your UNIX platform is not commented out in the makefile.
Step 2 If your platform is not listed at all, see your system administrator for help
compiling the source code. The only supported platforms are those listed
in the makefile.
Step 3 Compile the XTACACS daemon again.
