Re: make problem

There's a "-Ddef" in your compile line that doesn't belong there. I'm curious

That was it. Thanks for the quick response and keen eye.

As to how that option got there, I'll take the blame but I think I can exlain the frequency. In the INSTALL file that comes with the distribution, the '-Ddef' option is given in the example values for the CPPFLAGS environment variable. I left it there thinking it might be necessary, but I have no macros and should've looked up what the option meant myself. I'm lazy.

This was the first time I've run make (and crossed fingers) in a couple of years, but I have to hand it to the OpenLDAP distribution: it's almost never been so easy. Thanks again.
