Hello helpers to novices, I am sure, that someone must be knowing the PERFECT answer of my question!! QUESTION: INSTALLING PERLDAP. STEPS SO FAR( of course in order).(I am working on Win2K) 1. Downloaded Netscape Directory SDK for C 4.11 from http://www.iplanet.com/downloads/developer/0118.html link. And unzipped under c:\netscape\ldapsdk. 2. Downloaded perldap-1.4.1 from mozilla and unzipped under c:\perldap-1.4.1 . So makefile.pl will be under c:\perldap-1.4.1\makefile.pl 3. Downloaded and ran activestate perl ActivePerl-5.6.1.626-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread.msi. Ran sample example program,works fine. Do I have to do anything with ldap sdk before I run makefile under perldap-1.4.1? Because, I did not. And when I ran the makefile, below is the problem I am getting:: C:\perl\bin>perl c:\perldap-1.4.1\makefile.pl PerLDAP - Perl 5 Module for LDAP ================================ Directory containing 'include' and 'lib' directory of the Netscape LDAP Software Developer Kit (default: /usr): C:\NETSCAPE\LDAPSDK Using LDAPv3 Developer Kit (default: yes)? y Include SSL Support (default: yes)? n Located multiple libraries: - nsldap32v41bc.lib - nsldapssl32v41.lib Libraries to link with (default: -LC:\NETSCAPE\LDAPSDK\lib -lnsldap32v41bc): Could not open 'API.pm': No such file or directory I read at so many places that you have to have gcc tool, but I have not USED this while installing perldap. I will be happy to clarify any more doubts on this. I have struggled a lot. May be I am just messing up the things. Can you write steps from 1 - to- n ..How to go about it.Provide me with as much detail as you can.Your 10 mins can save my time by X folds! I appreciate everyone's time. Thanks hetal
