ok i have used cvs to get the latest pkgsrc incase the tarball i was 
using was corrupt or old. It failed to fix the problems listed bellow 
so im thinking that the latest pkgsrc does not work with the cobalt 
port running 1.6.2
Either that or theres a dependency package that i need which isn't 
getting built.

Is there anyone who has samba running on there qube/raq? if yes let 
me know what version as the older biulds might not require the glibc 
package and might compile for me.

Cheers
