OpenLDAP Compilation Error-hope you can help

[rhonneil]

Hi gurus out there could you please help me to solve my problem? I've
visited many mailing list, but can't find solution to my VERY BIG
PROBLEM!!!

I am installing an OPENLDAP-2.1.8 from my RH 9.0 Server which I intend
to be our Apache web server also. Before I install apache I wish to
install first OpenLDAP. But, this problem I had stuck me, for about a
week now. I tried solving this by myself by seeking answers over the
web, but I failed and unto this moment can't find the answer.

Hope you can help me.

I tried installing/recompile cyrus-sasl to have the entries

./configure --with-dblib=berkeley

during compilation, because this is the only one procedure I get from
the internet which was close to my problem.

However, problem remains...

Here's what my compilation provides, only at this stage the problem
became apparent. No problem on ./configure, make depend, and make.

[root@ldap openldap-2.1.8]# make test
cd tests; make test
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/openldap-2.1.8/tests'

Hoping for help...

Is this a permissions issue?

[/quote]

"I suppose this can't be a permission issue." Since, I am already using root access and OpenLDAP was installed for the first time. No restriction, whatsoever have been provided at this stage of the installation.

Thanks for you help.

Well I can see if I can download that version and try an install. I have never done LDAP so ...

Hello,
Have you checked the "master.log" file in /tests/test-db? It can provide lots of info in reguards to what's happening.

I case you haven't seen this:

My master.log says:

must compile with LDAP_DEBUG for debugging

Any idea?

I'll try to visit also the site you mentioned.

thanks,
