Hi, I don't know if Blake answered this (I haven't seen it) but I can't
compile either.

I was using Slackware 3.4 with kernel 2.0.33 (I think) and have now
reinstalled with Slackware 3.5 (kernel 2.0.34).

I'm using OpenLDAP 1.0.1.

The results of the make go past a bit quick for me to read, and I'm not
sure of the best way to capture it all, but it seems to start with heaps
of "parse errors".

The other thing I thought was interesting (note I'm new to makefiles; I
look at them and have a guess at what they mean :-) was in the
Make-common(.gmake):

ifndef LDAP_ETCDIR
LDAP_RUNDIR= $ (LDAP_ETCDIR)
endif

If LDAP_ETCDIR is undefined, how can we use it to set LDAP_RUNDIR? I
would have thought that the first line should be "ifndef LDAP_RUNDIR"

Is that assumption correct?

Many thanks,

Richard Hector
