Issue #334 has been updated by Nick Milas.

Status changed from New to Closed

Fine, 

I will have to agree that the separation of LTB installation from the rest of 
the system is more important than ease of compilation... After all, compiling 
is a much more specialized task.

Feature #334: openldap libraries not found during compilation
http://tools.lsc-project.org/issues/334

Author: Nick Milas
Status: Closed
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.

Thanks, 
Nick
