Re: openLDAP on LinuxPPC

[Andrew Miles <andrew@in2.com>]

Thanks to all who sent advice and suggestions.   Some had said to try 
the RPM's, but I was unable to get them working either.  The 
suggestion that did work, was to use openldap-1.2.11 and run 
configure with the  --with-ldbm-api=gdbm option, apparently there is 
an issue with the PPC linux derivatives not supporting the full range 
of database backends.

Thanks,

andrew
