RE: [squid-users] Compiling Squid and Linux Red Hat

Try this:

cd /usr/local/squid/src
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/squid

That should get the compile started. RedHat 9 is no longer supported. You
might be better off installing the newest Fedora Core
(http://fedora.redhat.com/) (or an other distribution of Linux, such as SUSE
http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/index.html), and using the supplied package
files. When you start compiling software on a distribution that doesn't use
that as its primary update method (Gentoo is one that does), you become more
responsible for keeping it up to date. Instead of just using YUM
(http://www.linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/) or apt-rpm
(http://freshrpms.net/apt/) to keep your system up to date, you have to
monitor mailing lists. Not that there's anything wrong with that. *shrug*

In any case, you might check to see if your school library has any books on
Linux administration.

Subject: [squid-users] Compiling Squid and Linux Red Hat

I'm currently a student working on making a web cache off of Linux Red
Hat for my school. I've been messing around with squid for a bit and
nothing has worked. I've got the source for their latest release and
I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to compile it. The guide tells me
to run ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/squid after I've extraced the
source to /usr/local/squid/src which I have done. However, the shell
comes back and tells me that the directory ./configure does not exist.
I'm running Linux Red Hat 9.0

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this problem.
