FWIW: I'll be moving to these packages in the bear future. I especially like the src.rpm file - after installing it, I was able to modify the configure directives to build overlays as modules vs compiled in (fixes some Solaris - as a client - difficulties) before using rpmbuild. It'll tell you what devel packages you need.
Servers are currently using compiled from source - which was neither fun nor easy do to 64 bit lib difficulties when I was doing this. And when I was doing this, IIRC, there weren't any 64bit packages available from ltb. Minor caveat: It didn't like me setting sysconfdir to /etc rather than /usr/local/openldap/etc, but hey - if it bugs me /that/ much I can just as easily symlink the dir. The berkeley db package works well. Not having to recompile that makes life easier too. - chris Chris Jacobs, Systems Administrator Apollo Group | Apollo Marketing | Aptimus 2001 6th Ave Ste 3200 | Seattle, WA 98121 phone: 206.839-8245 | cell: 206.601.3256 | Fax: 208.441.9661 email: [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [** ISO-8859-15 charset **] Götz Reinicke - IT-Koordinator <[email protected]> Cc: Robert Heller <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Mon Nov 29 05:40:01 2010 Subject: Re: how to compile recent openldap on Centos 5.5 At Mon, 29 Nov 2010 09:33:55 +0100 [** ISO-8859-15 charset **] Götz Reinicke - IT-Koordinator <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Am 23.11.10 15:05, schrieb Aaron Richton: > > On Tue, 23 Nov 2010, Götz Reinicke - IT-Koordinator wrote: > > > >> I tried to compile the Release 2.4.23 of openldap on my centos 5.5 > >> server. > > [...] > >> configure: error: BerkeleyDB version incompatible with BDB/HDB backends > > [...] > >> db4-4.3.29-10.el5_5.2 > > [...] > >> What may I do wrong?
