C-ares could not resolve host

[McDarby]

Okay, I have been trying to recompile my UnrealIRCd with remote includes enabled and started with wget to get cURL.sh and tried to do sh.cURL.sh and ended up with installation failed. Then I found out it downloaded two out of date tar.gz files in which I removed and replaced with the currently versions.

Next, went and did ./curlinstall /home/nebmouse/depend/c-ares-1.7.3 /home/nebmouse/depend/curl-7.21.0 --with-system-tre --with-system-cares

Which appeared to have solved the one problem and did ./Config normally. And I finally ran into a "could not resolve host" problem when I went to try a remote include in the unrealircd.conf file. The system I am doing this on appears to be able to resolve the domain the remote include is on as shown below.

I even tried the patch from http://bugs.unrealircd.org/view.php?id=3847 which did not fix it and not sure if "patch" even worked to begin with. If anyone knows of a way to fix this problem, please let me know. I am using Unreal3.2.8.1

Tried that and I ended up with this during "make" after "./Config"

Code: Select all

ircd.c:75:23: error: curl/curl.h: No such file or directory

You need to specify the location of curl (probably /usr/home/nebmouse/curl) when asked in ./Config.

Code: Select all

Specify the directory you installed libcurl to
[] ->  /usr/home/nebmouse/curl

The curlinstall script tells you where it is when it's finished.

[McDarby]

Yeah, I am specifying the path where curl is, even trying ../curl and it is still ending with the same error.

[warg]

It appears curl.h is nonexistent in $HOME/curl/include. A fix for this would be to manually copy it from <curl sources directory>/include/curl/curl.h to $HOME/curl/include. I'm submitting a bug report and a temporary fix.

[McDarby]

I tried that fix and I have wiped all directories and started over three times already, but I am still getting the same error. I even applied the fix, but still no go. Is there anyone else on here that can help me fix this or am I going to have to submit this whole thing as a bug report?

Bug report #3925
CVS build of yesterday

Rename your curl to curl.old, then download the the Unr .tar.gz from above and check if it works (it should auto-download&compile curl).
If it doesn't work, post a note in the bug report from above.
Feel free to post a note when it works as well

[Oh ehm, since this is CVS, I can't give any guarantees with regards to stability, so you should use it with care on an important server]
