Re: DB_PRIVATE Error OpenLDAP 2.3.13 (source) and DB4 4.2.52 (rpm)

[Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com>]

This error usually means you've linked OpenLDAP to the wrong BerkeleyDB 
library. In particular, the BDB library you linked with is using 
pthreads mutexes but your system's pthreads library doesn't support 
interprocess mutexes.

The diffs referenced in those other emails have absolutely nothing to do 
with this problem.
