The error is self-explanatory. You will also need to install one of the GnuTLS packages.

Hi ,
I’m trying to update samba based on your article. But after ./configure command i faced an error:
/root/samba-4.6.5/source4/lib/tls/wscript:51: error: Building the AD DC requires GnuTLS (eg libgnutls-dev, gnutls-devel) for ldaps:// support and for the BackupKey protocol

Best regard,

It depends on what Samba version you’re currently using in RHEL 6. If you’re using Samba 3, yes, the fixed version is 3.6.23. If you are using Samba 4, then it is samba4-4.2.10-10.el6_9.
