This is because there is no library package policy on RH. The relocation
aspect should have no impact here (in the case of different library majors).
Do you mean that there are "library package policies" on other
distributions ?
Except that now you have packages that claim to provide:
liblber-2.3.so.0
libldap-2.3.so.0
libldap_r-2.3.so.0
However, they will not be found by the library loader.
indeed .
This implies a certain amount of editing to relfect that scpecific
PATH in slapd.conf and ldap init.d startup script !
And, you will need to edit /etc/ld.so.conf or similar, or set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
for any application that is built against your
openldap-devel-2.3.19-1.1_int_evry_jp.i386.rpm
Here I just want to have an uptodate rpm of openldap to run a slapd
directory on my FC4, I don't build other application based on that
version of openldap. Indeed, I do have to add the new ldap libraries in
ld.so.conf in order to run openldap-clients (2.3.19) tools (ldapsearch
etc ...) , it's in the README file I provide with the package.
Instead, you could split the library package off to get rid of the dependency
problems (ie allow parallel installation of libraries with different major
numbers), and provide for parallel installation of binaries (via suffixed
names).
good idea !.
But, then you'd end up with the packages I maintain for Mandriva, which also
rebuild on RH/Fedora (although I personally only build on RHEL2.1/3/4 at
present, they build fine - with some compatibility macros - on all versions
of Fedora I have tried):

Good, I see the latest 2.3.20 there ! however I don't see the source
rpms, are they available so that I give it a try , and what are the
"compatibility macros" , you mean rpmacros from mandriva2fedora ?
Thanks.
