If you download the package, the ldap sdk files are in the base directory in a zip file called nsbase.zip. The ldap shared libraries you need are in the lib directory (including nss and nspr libraries if you need to do SSL), and the command line programs are in shared/bin. So you can simply use tar, gunzip, and unzip to get the files you need.
While this is not an ideal solution, it works. If you can afford to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to compile the sdk on your own, that is the best way, since once you figure out how to do it, you are set.
We are trying to figure out a way to make ldap sdk binaries available for download from mozilla or netscape. In the meantime, I apologize for the kludge, but it's better than nothing.

Hi, I've read through quite a few messages and see that the standard answer for users trying to compile the LDAP C SDK with Linux 2.4, is to download and install AOL's Directory Server. While this may be a kludge to get things to work, I don't think that it is an acceptable fix for most people. I have no interest in installing an unecessary product for the sake of compiling another.Has anyone out there managed to get the SDK to compile? Or does anyone have binaries for RH7.3? I'm actually trying to integrate LDAP authentication with Bugzilla and need this to work. I cannot install the directory server on my bugzilla server, so any help suggestions that do not include that option would be greatly appreciated.
