The document states: "OpenLDAP's slapd primary database backend, BDB, requires Sleepycat Software Berkeley DB. If not available at configure time, you will not be able build slapd with this primary database backend." Additionally, it states: "This package is required *if* you wish to use the BDB database backend." I read it as without BDB, one cannot have bdb as the primary database backend; so one would have to choose another database backend such as gdbm. I just finished a build that used gdbm instead of db (though both were present on the system). -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
