[Pdns-users] Trouble compiling pdns 2.9.22 on Centos

[Florian G.]

Hello,

Thank you for the help. I was able to install boost 1.39 from the atrpms repository just fine, but I still get the Missing boost error.

What I did notice is the configure output says it can't find g++, c++ and so on.
It also says it can't detect the presence of some files (I think they are located in /usr/include, just where the boost directory is, too):
   checking fcntl.h presence... no
   checking getopt.h presence... no
   checking limits.h presence... no
   checking sys/time.h presence... no
   checking syslog.h presence... no

[root@* pdns-2.9.22]# locate fcntl.h
/usr/include/fcntl.h
/usr/include/asm/fcntl.h
/usr/include/asm-generic/fcntl.h
/usr/include/asm-i386/fcntl.h
/usr/include/asm-x86_64/fcntl.h
/usr/include/bits/fcntl.h
/usr/include/linux/fcntl.h
/usr/include/sys/fcntl.h
/usr/lib/syslinux/com32/include/fcntl.h
/usr/share/man/man0p/fcntl.h.0p.gz

 
[root@* pdns-2.9.22]# find / -name 'shared_ptr.hpp'
/usr/include/boost/interprocess/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp
/usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp
/usr/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp
/usr/include/boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp

Maybe it's because I don't have g++, c++, gpp, and the rest installed?
Or maybe some permisions are preventing configure to access the /usr/include directory?
 
I did try putting SElinux into permissive and stopping Linux Environment Security, but still no luck.
 
I also added /usr/include to my PATH, but this didn't help either.
 
[root@* pdns-2.9.22]# echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/include:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin

Please find below the complete output from ./configure
Any help will be greatly appreciated, this issue has been ruining my sleep at night...
