OpenLDAP Solaris 2.6 porting

[Thomas H Jones II <ferric@xanthia.com>]

Hello:

been running into problems porting OpenLDAP 1.2 to the Solaris 2.6
platform. After applying the environment changes suggested in
doc/install/hints/Solaris, I am able to successfully run 'configure' and
compile the associated binaries. However, the tests fail with the below:

    {tsunami} /roothome/software/ldap # cd tests
    {tsunami} /roothome/software/ldap/tests # make
    ln: cannot create ./data: File exists
    make: [all-local] Error 2 (ignored)
    Initiating LDAP tests...
    >>>>> Executing all LDAP tests...
    >>>>> Test Directory: .
    >>>>> Starting test001-ldif2ldbm ...
    running defines.sh .
    Datadir is ./data
    Cleaning up in ./test-db...
    Running ldif2ldbm to build slapd database...
    id2entry file: Bad file number
    stopping: child exited with status 1
    ldif2ldbm failed!
    >>>>> ./scripts/test001-ldif2ldbm failed (exit 1)
    make: *** [all-local] Error 1

Porting environment:

ps. i also have truss output available (rather verbose for this
posting). Others whove seen it recognize it, but did not know how to
work around it.
