Unable to install AUTHBIND on CentOS 6

Question

I tried to install authbind but getting below error,

Can anyone please help me to resolve this error.

Answer 1

There this project here : https://github.com/tootedom/authbind-centos-rpm

You can easely download this file with :

wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/aaronsilber/public/authbind-2.1.1-0.1.x86_64.rpm

and install it with :

rpm -Uvh https://s3.amazonaws.com/aaronsilber/public/authbind-2.1.1-0.1.x86_64.rpm

Answer 2

The previous answer by irrational won't work because that rpm is built against libc2.14 which is only on centos 7 not 6.

rpm -Uvh authbind-2.1.1-0.1.x86_64.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
       libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit) is needed by authbind-2.1.1-0.1.x86_64

I think you have to build the rpm yourself from the instructions at https://github.com/tootedom/authbind-centos-rpm

I'm having some trouble because the spec file appears to have some errors. UPDATE:

step-by-step instructions:

svn co https://github.com/tootedom/authbind-centos-rpm.git
mkdir /root/rpmbuild
cp -R authbind-centos-rpm.git/trunk/authbind/* /root/rpmbuild/
cd /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/authbind/authbind_2.1.1.tar.gz
mv authbind_2.1.1.tar.gz authbind-2.1.1.tar.gz
cd ../
rpmbuild -v -bb --clean SPECS/authbind.spec

After all that fix up the rpm actually built and is now at:

/root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/authbind-2.1.1-0.1.x86_64.rpm

You can now install that using rpm -Uvh and have access to authbind like dem debian peeps.

I did this on centos 6.7 minimal os
