Linux : DirectAdmin Cannot find /usr/include/et/com_err.h

By | July 10, 2013

Get the following error installing DirectAdmin?

*** Cannot find /usr/include/et/com_err.h. (yum install libcom_err-devel) ***
Installation didn’t pass, halting install.
Once requirements are met, run the following to continue the install:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./install.sh

As suggested by the installer, you need to install “libcom_err-devel” package as followed :

yum install libcom_err-devel libcom_err

To resume the installation, simply do :

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./install.sh

NOTE : Other dependancies you might need as well :

yum install gcc gcc-c++ make automake openssl-devel perl flex
