Maybe you missed my (the maintainer of said 3rd-party packages) responses to Javier's problems, which resulted from him following the advice of the admin guide (http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/install.html) to download and compile all the necessary software from source, which resulted in half a 2.2.27 and half a 2.2.23 installation? Javier solved the problem by (on my advice) removing the locally-compiled 2.2.27 libary from /usr/local/lib and running ldconfig. I wonder if it may be useful to include a mention that the user should first check if the software provided by their vendor is relatively up-to-date, before modifying their installation to a (to the inexperienced user) difficult to repair state? If not, maybe I will patch the version of the admin guide we ship so we don't have users shoot themselves in the foot when following it (although, I don't know if this would have helped Javier, since he probably read the on-line copy). Surely someone just installing OpenLDAP the first time (and who may not necessarily be experienced in building software from source) should rather stick with the packages provided, maintained (from a security updates point of view at least) and supported (in terms of application-level support, integration with other packages and updates between releases of the vendor's product) by the vendor rather than compile everything from source Regards, Buchan - -- Buchan Milne Senior Support Technician Obsidian Systems http://www.obsidian.co.za B.Eng RHCE (803004789010797),LPIC-1 (LPI000074592) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC22n+rJK6UGDSBKcRAok1AKDD+XTX/AuIHSS3Y9EWIYBoIphvugCgtweu JurFwKgUqoe2Dbz27entxqc= =ji5L -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
