Bind package update to 9.9.1-0.0.P2.1pclos2012 broke DNS [SOLVED]

[janasx1]

ok. Thanks.
I will check the testing site in a day or two.

[janasx1]

I tried the latest version from testing and still not able to bring named up.
Please let me know if you need any log messages.
Thanks

I got the latest bind package and it works. here's how to as ROOT!
Of course you need to have the broken package already installed so you can just replace the binary with the newly compiled one.

wget http://www.isc.org/software/bind/992/download/bind-992tar.gz
tar xzvf bind-9.9.2.tar.gz
cd bind-9.9.2/
./configure&&make
./install-sh bin/named/named /usr/sbin/named
/etc/init.d/named start

[janasx1]

Thanks n9bk.
I tried it and got the error in second line.
I fixed the url in the first line and below are the commands I executed.

wget http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.9.2/bind-9.9.2.tar.gz
tar xzvf bind-9.9.2.tar.gz
cd bind-9.9.2/
./configure&&make
./install-sh bin/named/named /usr/sbin/named
/etc/init.d/named start


[root@SBK013638L1CMG bind-9.9.2]# /etc/init.d/named start

Thanks a lot everyone.

[n9bk]

Sorry about the typeo.
It just goes to show all that no mater how careful you are, errors will always happen.
It's what keeps the Forums a going.

[gseaman]

This is great! When I build a new rpm, I use the spec file from the previous version. Since the source build works, there must be something in the spec that interferes. I'll look it over and submit a new build. Thanks for testing!

[n9bk]

if you look at the difference between the two files it will become obvious that the original one got truncated.
the good file:
ll /usr/sbin/named -h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6.8M Nov 25 12:35 /usr/sbin/named*

whereas  the bad rpm lists it as only 2.6 megabytes.

[gseaman]

The number of changes from the simple install are immense. There is no way for me to track down, what each line does. I will build a simple rpm without all of the customizations and patches and see if any of the previous changes are even needed, because as it stands now, they don't work.

Sorry to open a solved thread.
I tried these commands in another laptop.
./configure&&make gave below error


checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no
checking whether g++ accepts -g... no
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: in `/root/bind-9.9.2':
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details


Here is the first error in the log file. Not sure if its relevant.

configure:5350: checking how to run the C preprocessor

configure:5381: $? = 0
configure:5395: gcc -E  conftest.c

You need to install a 'C' compiler and associated tools.
I am running the Full Monty Desktop which comes with the Compiler and tools installed as default.

[janasx1]

Thanks n9bk.

I had to install the package gcc-c++ to proceed further.

In my other laptop I didnt have this package installed. Not sure how it worked there.
