Hi Alan,
thanks for quick reply. But I realy don't understand why are you attacking
me?! Maybe is that feeling caused by my poor english but ... NO I don't
want start an fight ... no one is interested in reading that stuf.

The reason for that multiple versions is realy simple in OpenLDAP 2.0.6
was correctly working SSL and in 2.0.7 for some strange reason no ... if
I wan't keep production system running on 100% all time. I need check for
all posible problems before upgrading them. So on my workstation are
instaled OpenLDAPs from 2.0.6 to 2.0.8, some version of Mozilla LDAP SDK
and Netscape LDAP SDK from 3.0 to 4.11 my work realy requires that.

Lots of well known software like Apache, OpenLDAP, PHP ... allows me
specify path where some kind of libs are installed, so why not FreeRadius?

I understand you provide this for free, you don't want to support stupid
users ... no problem. I wasnt saing that you are doing something wrong.

I told that I don't need help, I just want to inform you that someone
other might have similar problems with configure scripts you wrote.

Have a nice weekend
