test ldap startup failure

["Jose Correia (J)" <CorreiJ@telkom.co.za>]

Hi All

As mentioned before I'm trying to completely install version 2.1.6.
I'm at the stage where I run "make test". Its failing though with this
message:

cd tests; make test

At first I thought it was the port no that was clashing but it isn't.
As you can see above I even changed the port no in
../tests/scripts/defines.sh but to no avail.

I then thought it could a permissions thing because of the 3rd line:
"ln: ./data: cannot overwrite directory" but Iam root and I made sure
all the openldap directories and files have groupname and username
'root'.

I also had a look at the config.log and can't see much wrong there,
although I could be wrong.

Has anyone got any ideas what is happening?

Kind regards
