Issue #334 has been updated by Clément OUDOT. Category set to OpenLDAP RPM
Hi Nick, this is a good topic, and as you said, we tried to be safe for the current system, as RedHat already ship an OpenLDAP distribution. In my humble opinion, I think we should keep the headers in their current location, which allows you to build other software with the OpenLDAP headers from RHEL repositories: <pre> yum install openldap-devel </pre> If really need to build against LTB OpenLDAP distribution, if think this is a packaging choice, so you will have to manually add the include directory in your compilation procedure. ---------------------------------------- Feature #334: openldap libraries not found during compilation http://tools.lsc-project.org/issues/334 Author: Nick Milas Status: New Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: OpenLDAP RPM Target version: In all openldap RPM versions, libraries and development headers are placed in non standard locations (in /usr/local/openldap/...). This causes problems when compiling other software using these libraries / headers, because it's not straightforward to declare correctly custom directories for headers and libraries (at least for administrators and not developers) in each and every piece of software. (For example, I have been having persistent problems with compiling Postfix...) I know this is a feature of LTB to make installations as less intrusive as possible (which I respect), but would it be possible to include the ability to easily replace (overwrite) standard CentOS openldap headers/libraries (in /usr/include and /usr/lib64 or /usr/lib) e.g. with an optional script which can be included in the RPM? I know we can do it manually, but admins will surely benefit from such an approach.
