Re: Install Make Test Issue

Right.

If I don't clear out the data dir and the schema file I do get the proper system error as noted by Kurt.

But the data dir appears to be a loop...

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other          6 Aug 19 10:23 data -> ./data

... back to itself which is seems to be what it is barking at. As seen here:

Running slapadd to build slapd database...
./data/test.ldif: Number of symbolic links encountered during path name traversal exceeds MAXSYMLINKS
slapadd failed (1)!

I can't even cd into the /openldap-2.0.23/tests/data directory without getting the MAXSYMLINKS issue.

I have compiled and tested openldap-2.0.21 on this same system without an issue.

What am I missing?

Since there is a data directory in ".", this ln(1) command
should fail.  For example, on my system:
   ln: ./data: File exists
   *** Error code 1 (ignored)

There have been a few bumps in the road here but I can't seem to get past one specific point in the testing portion of the install as noted below. I have reviewed the defines.sh script located in /openldap-2.0.23/tests/scripts and it points to the /openldap-2.0.23/tests/data file for information. Base on an ls of that directory the data file appears to be a continual loop as noted below. If this isn't the case any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
