RE: installing v2.03 with berkeleyDB, Linux

["Mark Whitehouse" <markwhitehouse@home.com>]

Daniel,

I had the same problem which was the reason for my original post.  I now
think I have found a solution.

1) Configure Berkeley DB using:
     > ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr/local
This installs the software into /usr/local instead of the default
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1

2) Create a link from /usr/local/lib/libdb3.a to /usr/local/lib/libdb.a i.e.
     > ln -s libdb.a libdb3.a  (in /usr/local/lib)

3) Build OpenLDAP 2.0.3 in the usual way.

Looks like OpenLDAP's configure script will only pick up Berkeley DB if it
finds a libdb3.a library.

Mark

hi,

i installed berkeleyDB 3.1.17 too and then i launched configure with:

env CFLAGS="-D_REENTRANT" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openldap

and i've now a question concerning the output of configure:

--- snip ---

configure is checking for db.h (a berkleyDB-headerfile AFAIK) and
finding it.
but then everything else seems to fail till the GNU DBM check. will ldap
use
the berkleyDB nevertheless, or will i have to give some more env-vars or
options? or do i have a general problem with my berkleyDB-installation?
I'm running redhat 6.1 and berkeleyDB is installed in /usr.

thanx for your patience
daniel
