AIX 5.2 & hobbit 4.2.0: build problem 🔗 link

Hello people,

I hope someone could help me on this.

I tried to install hobbit stable release (4.2.0) on an aix machine.
Actually everything went well, until I run gmake install.
Unfortunately I don't know what I should change (regarding "chgrp",
or is "mv"?) ?
So I hope someone could explain me, how I can resolve this problem.

System:
AIX 5.2.0.6, hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz (stable release)
user: hobbit (group: hobbit)

Makefile.AIX (partialy);
# Compile flags for normal build with gcc
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -O -D_REENTRANT $(OSDEF)

$ MAKE=gmake ./configure.server\
--rrdinclude /opt/freeware/include --rrdlib /opt/freeware/lib \
--pcreinclude /opt/freeware/include --pcrelib /opt/freeware/lib \
--sslinclude /opt/freeware/include/openssl --ssllib /usr/linux/lib \
$ gmake (-> exit error = 0)
# gmake install
...
chgrp `id -g hobbit` /var/log/hobbit /home/hobbit/server /home/hobbit/server/* /home/hobbit/server/bin/* /home/hobbit/server/etc/* /home/hobbit/server/ext/* /home/hobbit/server/web/* /home/hobbit/server/www/gifs /home/hobbit/server/www/gifs/* /home/hobbit/server/www/menu /home/hobbit/server/www/menu/* /home/hobbit/server/www/help /home/hobbit/server/www/notes /home/hobbit/server/www/html /home/hobbit/server/www/wml /home/hobbit/data /home/hobbit/data/*
chgrp  /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak
0481-002 chgrp: /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg is not a recognized group.
        Check the /etc/group file for all known groups.
gmake[1]: *** [install-cfg] Error 4
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tester/temp/hobbit-4.2.0/hobbitd'
gmake: *** [install-hobbitd] Error 2

Thanks in advance,
iye

Do you have a user group hobbit?

If so

  # grep hobbit /etc/group

should find it, and

  # id -g hobbit

should return the numerical group id.

It seems to return an empty string in your invokation above, hence chgrp
fails with such an error message.

Hi Daniel,

thanks for the suggestion.
The problem is solved. It was the missing HTTPDGID.

Best regards,
cipaera
