Hmm, I thought I had tried that (see above). I've not tried removing
completely the extension, as suggested by Armin. Looks like I'll have to
recheck! If you guys are right, I'll need to revert the instructions for
removing .la files, but I'll need to change the instructions for openldap (sed
s/\.la// -i patch/to/slapd.conf, or so).

Hi,
Today I decided to sort out a few problems with the full BLFS build I'd done a
couple of weeks ago. One thing I noticed is that openldap did not start, while
I never has any problem. After messing around, I found that there is in
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf:
-
[...]
# Load dynamic backend modules:
modulepath  /usr/lib/openldap
moduleload  back_mdb.la
# moduleloadback_ldap.la
[...]
-

Since I'd removed the .la files I tried replacing back_mdb.la with
back_mdb.so. Did not work. Then I recompiled openldap and installed the .la
files in /usr/lib/openldap. That worked. So the .la files are needed in the
module directory of openldap.

I'll change the instructions about removing .la files accordingly.




You don't need the la files, just change any occurrence of.la in the 
config to.so. Happened to me, too, and I can verify that just specifying 
the plain.so works perfectly.


So, I would still remove them.

You don't need the la files, just change any occurrence of.la in the config 
to.so. Happened to me, too, and I can verify that just specifying the 
plain.so works perfectly.

On my end, I don't specify any extension and it seems to work:

modulepath  /usr/lib/openldap
moduleload  back_mdb

[blfs-dev] openldap needs its .la files

[Pierre Labastie]

Hi,
Today I decided to sort out a few problems with the full BLFS build I'd done a
couple of weeks ago. One thing I noticed is that openldap did not start, while
I never has any problem. After messing around, I found that there is in
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf:
-
[...]
# Load dynamic backend modules:
modulepath  /usr/lib/openldap
moduleload  back_mdb.la
# moduleloadback_ldap.la
[...]
-

Since I'd removed the .la files I tried replacing back_mdb.la with
back_mdb.so. Did not work. Then I recompiled openldap and installed the .la
files in /usr/lib/openldap. That worked. So the .la files are needed in the
module directory of openldap.

I'll change the instructions about removing .la files accordingly.
