building it yourself, you really want to leave all the other libraries/daemons intact and build everything (cyrus-sasl, heimdal, openssl, db4, openldap) in /usr/local and run it from there and things are ok but of course, that is not why you use a distribution such as RHEL or CentOS. Symas has rpm's [1] (which I have stayed away from since they really are in the support business, and Buchan Milne has rpm's [2] that he builds on Mandriva which supposedly work on RHEL/CentOS (I'm speaking of openldap 4.3.x rpm's) but I've never used Buchan's rpm's either...I have built all from source in /usr/local following Quanah Gibson's instructions [3] but I only do that on RHEL 3/CentOS 3 systems and for small companies, I simply stick with 2.2.13 distribution rpm's but you do have to be careful about things such as regularly doing a slapcat the database, configuring DB_CONFIG for db4, live with shortcomings such as no automatic recovery from bad shutdowns, and slurp replication instead of the newer sync_replication options.
